Bohemian-German composer Jan Ladislav Dussek, 10 years older than Beethoven and a major influence upon him in the realm of keyboard music, is known mostly for that keyboard music and for his chamber music with keyboard. This set of three string quartets from late in his career has apparently never been recorded before. Dussek confidently asserted to an English publisher that "they are neither in the Stile of Mozart, of Haydn, nor that of Pleyel, they are in the Stile of Dussek, and I hope will make some noise in the Musical World." The mention of Pleyel in the same breath as Haydn and Mozart, in 1806, is interesting, but the central feature of this remark is its omission of Beethoven, who was certainly on Dussek's mind. The notes by Camesina Quartett violinist Johannes Gebauer somewhat overstress the Romantic qualities of these quartets. They're there, but they're episodic rather than thoroughgoing; Dussek often begins a movement with entirely innocent diatonic material and then veers off like a fast car in a movie chase scene into chromatic modulations. Some of the harmonic structures are pretty ingenious (hear the minuet of the String Quartet, Op. 60/3, track 10, with its extremely slippery trio of key centers a whole step apart from each other, B major, C sharp minor, and E flat major), and plainly Dussek had grasped the idea of the string quartet as an exalted intellectual genre. The Camesina Quartett, playing historical instruments and eschewing "modern accessories such as chin-rests or end-pin," have an attractive tone but seem in places too restrained for passages that Dussek intended as outbursts of passion. The group rather archly states as one of its concerns "to once again dare a little more purism," but that purism apparently didn't extend to the sound; the music is played in a church, where it never would have been found in its own time, and the sonic environment is brittle and distant.–James Manheim
