The perfect form of classical chamber music is demonstrated by the exquisite ensemble.
This recording features Haydn and Mozart's string quartets performed by the Amadeus Quartet. The well-balanced structure and soft tone highlight the beauty of the classical style.
The Amadeus Quartet is known for its meticulous ensemble, and in this work, the dialogue between the various voices resonates clearly. The Haydn piece features a superb interplay of structured rhythms and melodies, with a natural thematic development. The Mozart piece is impressive, with soft tones and a light, propulsive force that enhance the clarity of the music. The recording clearly positions each instrument, reproducing everything from the low notes of the cello to the high notes of the violin with transparency. The interpretation emphasizes classical balance while also remaining human, sustaining a sound that is intelligent and warm. This is a masterful performance that demonstrates the pinnacle of ensemble art.
