Beethoven: Quartet Op.95; Mozart: Quartet K.428 - REVIEW

Beethoven: Quartet in F minor, Op.95; Mozart: Quartet in E flat, K.428, etc

Chiaroscuro Quartet

Aparte AP051

Vibrant, searching performances from this exciting young period-instrument quartet.  If Alina Ibragimova is the best-known of the four, her colleagues yield nothing to her in virtuosity or insight, and the ensemble playing is little short of remarkable: the Beethoven second movement has rarely sounded so haunting, the Mozart finale so exuberant.
