If Pitchfork reviewed the album:
The latest offering from the Emperor String Quartet sees the renowned ensemble tackling a diverse range of string quartets by composers Sally Beamish and Ludwig van Beethoven. Beamish’s compositions shine on this record, with haunting melodies and intricate harmonies that showcase the quartet’s exceptional skill and deep emotional connection to the music. From the opening notes of "No, I'm Not Drowning" to the powerful finale of "String Quartet No. 3," Beamish’s unique voice is on full display, inviting listeners into a world of beauty and complexity.
But it’s not all about Beamish on this album - Beethoven also makes a strong showing with his timeless String Quartet No. 11 in F minor. The Emperor String Quartet brings a fresh perspective to this classic piece, infusing it with a sense of urgency and depth that is truly captivating. From the delicate textures of the Allegretto to the bold and dynamic Scherzo, the quartet’s interpretation of Beethoven is masterful and full of surprises.
Overall, Beamish/Beethoven/String Quartets is a stunning showcase of the Emperor String Quartet’s talents and versatility. With breathtaking performances and a diverse selection of repertoire, this album is sure to please classical music enthusiasts and newcomers alike. Don’t miss out on this gem of a record - it’s a must-listen for any music lover.
