Syrinx QuintetAbout
When the composer Jean Françaix heard this recording he congratulated them with a handwritten letter: "The recording of my quintet is excellent. In a way, you have captured my musical thoughts exactly in phonographic form: There can be no greater compliment from an author. Not to mention your technique, which is marvellous."
A speciality of the Syrinx Quintet was their absolute fusion of sounds and extreme virtuosity. In the final movement of the Françaix Quintet it is almost impossible to discern whether the clarinet or the flute is leading the virtuoso alternation of the ornaments. Similarly, the horn and bassoon sometimes form an almost indistinguishable tonal unity.
The clear, undisguised MDG original recording technique focusses on the essentials: precise depth gradation, original dynamics, and natural tone colours, allowing the artistic interpretation to achieve the greatest possible naturalness and vividness. MDG has maintained this distinction of quality for over 40 years.
