Searching and Intense Mozart Performances,
By jonsj (New York, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Library of Congress Mozart Recordings (1940-1945) (Audio CD)
Bridge has done an invaluable service in making available a number of wonderful live performances of the Budapest Quartet in their prime from concerts at the Library of Congress.
This set of Mozart is particularly valuable in adding the String Trio K. 563 to the Budapest discography and offering 2 of Mozart's "Haydn" quartets in performances which are superior to their commerical recording (which I've always found a bit disappointing). People acquainted with the Budapest style will find much to cherish here: a lean, sinewy string sound and playing of tremendous fire and accuracy. These are performances which are well-suited to the darker side of Mozart and, indeed, the pieces on these CDs are some of Mozart's greatest and most tragic works, particularly the String Trio. The transfers are clear and present mono sound with quite a bit of crackling, and a hint of artifical reverb. But these rapt and moving performances shine through. |
