Alongside its highly praised Haydn series, the Doric String Quartet continues its Schubert journey with this second volume of quartets, which precipitates us into the fraught world of late Schubert. Both composers will be central in the Quartet’s recitals next year, to take place in the highest-profile international venues, from New York’s Carnegie Hall to Berlin’s Konzerthaus, Amsterdam’s Concertgebouw, and London’s Wigmore Hall.
Franz Schubert returned to composing string quartets in the 1820s, after four years of focusing on songs which were beginning to gain him wider recognition. His late chamber compositions reveal probably his most characteristic music, full of deep intimacy and profound ambivalence.
The ‘Quartettsatz’ (Quartet Movement) presents a turbulent, norm-breaking first movement. Only a fragment survives of a serene Andante in A flat, and nothing for any scherzo or finale. If the 'Rosamunde' and 'Death and the Maiden' (CHAN 10737) are the most frequently heard of the quartets of Schubert, his last completed one – in G major – certainly remains his most uncompromising in its vastness, and perhaps his most prophetic of the musical future.
After forays into Haydn and Brett Dean, the wide-ranging Doric String Quartet return to Schubert for blistering performances of two sinewy late works. In evidence here is playing of the utmost intelligence, incisiveness and wholly articulate reciprocity. There's gymnastic athleticism, too, in the heaving tumult of the opening to the C minor Quartettsatz (the abbreviated herald of the achievements that were to follow) and its subsequent cascade of imposing technical challenges. Impeccable pacing and dynamics add to the sense of protean drama. Composed in 1826, two years before his death although not published until 1851, the G major Quartet also offered hints of what was to come, its symphonic scale marked by an often feverish intensity. The Dorics treat melodies with robust directness, stretch contrasts to potent effect and fill the canvas with telling details shimmering high violins and earthy, coruscated cello by turns kept separate and blended together by supplicatory viola. Excellent sound and informative notes by Bayan Northcott. –Classical Ear,Feb'17
The main event is the G major quartet. And very impressive it is too, spacious without ever sounding ponderous. This is in part to their minute attention to detail. GRAMOPHONE EDITORS CHOICE –Gramophone,Feb'17
RECORDING OF THE MONTH. Dramatic readings of these masterpieces from this brilliant young British quartet. /// 5* There are several aspects which contribute to the excellence of this reading: care with which every phrase is fashioned, but it is the ability of the musicians to play so quietly and warmly that captures the imagination and which suits the beauty of these wonderful Schubert String Quartets to perfection. /// The recording opens with the more familiar Quartettsatz in a muscular, exciting reading. The lesser-known Op post 161 has an altogether different level of intensity, very much post-Beethoven in its architecture and dynamics. It is also one of the longest when given its proper length as it is here. This is a fine twin to the earlier release of the quartets based on Rosamunde and Death and the Maiden./// –MusicWeb,Feb'17 /// Classical Source, Mar'17/// Lark Reviews, June'17
