5.0 out of 5 stars
energetic, resonant, convincing, June 10, 2011
This review is from: Mozart: String Quartets (Complete), Vol. 5 (Audio CD)
As mentioned by another reviewer here, the Eder quartet recorded most of this series in a highly resonant, cathedral-like interior so as to give the quartet the power of a small string orchestra. But what is particularly effective for me is the separation and balance between instruments; each instrument can be followed individually if so desired, and with Mozart each has interesting work to do. I don't know how this separation is accomplished in engineering terms but the effect is rich and sumptuous. I bought one CD of this series and quickly bought others. The group achieves brilliant, extroverted interpretations, full of brio and rhythmic drive in the allegros and prestos and charm and poise in the andantes. Recorded in the early 90s but a steal at these prices. Highly recommended.
