¡Debussy & Ravel: String Quartets
¡Budapest String Quartet
Description
[Machine Translation] Tower Records " Sony Classical " Special Selection 6th season. Intellectual beauty of composition and clear sense of style. French music as only the Budapest Quartet can. The Budapest Quartet's 1957 recording of the string quartets of Debussy and Ravel is, along with the Juilliard Quartet's first recording for RCA, an unforgettable early stereo masterpiece. Ravel's performance is ideal, combining intellectual beauty of structure with a lively breath of life, accented by a refined portamento that could be described as French and a subtle use of achlerando. The second movement's brilliant and flawless ensemble is also superb. Debussy establishes a clear sense of style in a dense performance with homogeneous tone, and makes it clear with strong conviction that the composer's music is by no means obscure or elusive.
