Review by Mitchell McKenna

The Curtis String Quartet's eponymous album is a delightful and engaging collection of classical music that showcases the quartet's exceptional musicianship and artistry. From the opening track to the final notes, the quartet's performances are precise, nuanced, and emotionally resonant, bringing out the full depth and beauty of each piece.

The album includes a range of compositions from different eras, including works by Haydn, Beethoven, and Bartók, among others. Each piece is rendered with sensitivity and skill, highlighting the unique qualities of the quartet's sound and style. The quartet's playing is characterized by a seamless blend of individual voices, creating a unified and cohesive whole that is both dynamic and expressive.

Listeners will be struck by the quartet's ability to capture the essence of each piece, whether it is the playful energy of Haydn's Quartet Op. 76 No. 2, the poignant lyricism of Beethoven's String Quartet Op. 59 No. 1, or the bold and innovative sound of Bartók's String Quartet No. 4. Throughout the album, the quartet demonstrates a deep understanding of the music and an unwavering commitment to bringing it to life in the most meaningful way possible.

About The Curtis String Quartet

Born: August 22, 1862 (Saint-Germain-en-Laye, France). Died: March 25, 1918 (Paris, France). Claude Debussy was a French composer. He is sometimes seen as the first Impressionist composer, although he vigorously rejected the term. He was among the most influential composers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Debussy's music frees itself of the academicism of the late nineteenth century (in particular that of the Austro / German School) to offer new perspectives and dimensions to twentieth century music. Through the use of pentatonic scales, of the whole tone scale, he returns to the ambiguity of modal systems and accomplishes a revolution of traditional harmony, different from the Wagnerian revolution. Debussy's music frees itself from the tyranny of the bar, which with its periodic accents forces the rhythm to a pre-ordered repetitions; as a consequence of these metric-harmonic innovations the classical forms are abandoned.
