Music reviews of Debussy, Ravel: Streichquartette
Music Review: The Cream of a Very Good Crop !
Rating: 5 Stars
For me, these readings by the Emerson Quartet constitute one of the finest available couplings of these two staples of the string quartet repertoire. Listening to other highly touted versions by the Julliard, Guarneri, Tokyo, Cleveland and Kodaly Quartets, I feel the Guarneri (on the Surroundedby Entertainment 1004 label) seems to enjoy the richest and best recorded sound, and I would place their characterful interpretation in the second spot among these other ensembles. The Cleveland is not among the best recorded. At times the strings sound relatively thin; moreover, I consider their view of these two very personal works to be a little superficial in comparison with the others. The Kodaly on Naxos gives a good interpretation but is somewhat outclassed here. Both the Julliard and Tokyo Quartets provide finely crafted versions, however I'm not particularly enamored with the manner in which they render certain phrases. Obviously, since we're dealing strongly with matters of taste, others might respond differently. Notwithstanding, the Emerson Quartet's performances not only display a superb level of technical execution but also paint a marvelous canvas of vivid tonal colors and impressive dynamic contrasts. There just seems to be a sense of freedom and spontaneity here the other groups don't match. The overall effect is cathartic. For another outstanding combo of these two pieces, try the Keller Quartet on the Apex label. I would not be surprised if you considered its performances to be even more musical than the Emerson's.
