The performances are exceptionally vivid and beautiful – a true pleasure to hear these works so immaculately delivered. Highly Recommended. Grady Harp April 17

日本人にも知られたブリテンの作品といえば、「青少年のための管弦楽入門」ですが、副題にパーセルの主題による変奏曲(だったかな)とあるのには気づかないかもしれません。まあ、弦楽四重奏曲第2番の第3楽章の主題も上記の管弦楽入門でホルンを紹介するメロディなんで、つながってることに間違いはないんだけれど、これだけはっきりとした選曲を見せられると、欧州人の意識ってものを感じてしまいます。
演奏については、筆者個人の感覚ですが、ブリテンの弦楽四重奏曲でのリズムの刻み方に鋭さが欠ける印象ですが、流れは悪くないと思います。
