Our Take

Are you ready to be whisked away on a journey of passion, drama, and beautiful music? Well, buckle up because the New Zealand String Quartet's latest album featuring Leos Janacek's String Quartet No. 1 Kreutzer Sonata and String Quartet No. 2 Intimate Letters is nothing short of a wild ride.

From the moment the first notes of String Quartet No. 1 hit your ears, you can feel the intensity and emotion that Janacek poured into this piece. The quartet's performance is electrifying, with each player perfectly capturing the raw energy and fervor of the music. It's like being caught in a whirlwind of sound, with every note pulling you deeper into the composer's world.

But just when you think you can't take any more, the quartet switches gears and dives into String Quartet No. 2. The contrast between the two pieces is striking, with Intimate Letters showcasing a more intimate and introspective side of Janacek. The quartet handles this shift in mood with finesse, delivering a nuanced and heartfelt performance that will leave you breathless.

And if that wasn't enough, the album also features Sonnets Nos. 1 and 2 arranged by the talented Rolf Gjelsten. These arrangements add a new dimension to the music, breathing fresh life into these classic pieces.

In conclusion, the New Zealand String Quartet's rendition of Janacek's masterpieces is a tour de force that will leave you spellbound. So grab a glass of wine, sit back, and let the music take you on a journey you won't soon forget.
