Review by Giedrius Majauskas

The Gabrieli Quartet's album, Quartets Nos 1 2 3 by Tchaikovsky, is a stunning showcase of the composer's genius and the quartet's musical prowess. The quartet's interpretation of the three quartets is nothing short of masterful, with each musician showcasing their technical skill and emotional depth.

The album begins with Quartet No. 1 in D Major, Op. 11, which is characterized by its bold and energetic melodies. The Gabrieli Quartet's performance of this quartet is dynamic and lively, capturing the essence of Tchaikovsky's music.

Quartet No. 2 in F Major, Op. 22, is a more introspective and melancholic quartet, and the Gabrieli Quartet does an excellent job of conveying the emotional depth of this piece. The quartet's performance is hauntingly beautiful, with each musician contributing to the overall atmosphere of the music.

Finally, Quartet No. 3 in E-flat Minor, Op. 30, is a complex and challenging work that requires precision and technical skill. The Gabrieli Quartet rises to the challenge, delivering a performance that is both powerful and nuanced.
