Warm5
The sound on this CD is at a low level, but when you turn up the volume the sound is fine, warm and well balanced. These were late analog recordings made by CRD. The Chilingirian Quartet is one of my favorite ensembles. As recorded here, they feature a typically English sound. The playing is refined, elegant, yet full of nuance. The first violin in particular plays with a rich but not soupy tone and beautiful passage work. As for the interpretations, they are just about as good as one could ask for. The Hunt opens with secure intonation, which is not always something you can take for granted in this piece, and a gentle but forward moving tempo. The opening of the Dissonant unfolds gently, but with all the sonorities carefully etched. Tempos in both works are sensible, and the feeling of momentum is never lost. These are recordings to savor.
