5.0 out of 5 stars
classic performances of great chamber music,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Janacek / Novak: String Quartets (Audio CD)
The Janacek string quartets are classics of the chamber music repertoire - they are immediately accessible works that should be in the library of any music lover. As these performances by the Janacek Quartet were at one time regarded as definitive, buyers should have no reservations at all about the interpretations. The recordings of the Janacek quartets date from 1963 with sound that is warm and full-bodied. The players sound as if they were right on top of the microphone and the result is thick and up-front in a way that I find very pleasing.
The disc is rounded out by Novak's String Quartet no. 2, a good companion piece for the Janacek. Highly recommended.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Good performance, poor sound quality,
By The Doogster (Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Janacek / Novak: String Quartets (Audio CD)
In a nutshell, this is a good performance, but the sound quality is pretty ordinary. It is an old recording (1957/1964), but that's not an excuse for crappy sound. It sounds like it was recorded on a Walkman. There's no bloom or depth to the sound, and the violins sound strident. As the previous reviewer pointed out, the sound has nice body to it, but that is not enough to save it.
