5.0 out of 5 stars
Outstanding performances of popular quartets.,
By D. R. Schryer (Poquoson, VA United States) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Dvorák, Tchaikovsky, Borodin: Quartets (Audio CD)
These three quartets are probably the most popular, and most appealing, quartets written by non-Germanic composers. The slow movements of the Tchaikovsky and Borodin quartets are exceptionally beautiful and so popular that they are often played as separate pieces in a variety of arrangements. The Emerson Quartet does full justice to them in their original settings. They also give a fine performance of Dvorak's "American" Quartet which is his most popular piece of chamber music. To have outstanding performances of all three of these justly-popular quartets available on one mid-priced CD makes this a rare treat, and a bargain as well.

exquisite,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dvorák, Tchaikovsky, Borodin: Quartets (Audio CD)
The Dvorak "American" is rendered exquisitely. The Emerson String Quartet makes love to the piece. There is no other way to describe the mix of tenderness and passion with which it is delivered. The Tchaikovsky and the Borodin are also rendered beautifully, but the Dvorak is splendid. The Emerson really knows how to "do" Slavic romanticism. This is one of the best music purchases I've made.

This review is from: Dvorák, Tchaikovsky, Borodin: Quartets (Audio CD)
Why someone would not just immediately buy this disc at it's lower reissue price would be a mystery to me. The playing is beautiful, even flawless. The music is wonderful. The recording is outstanding. The price is criminally low.
