Notes and Editorial Reviews
Cleveland Quartet. Telarc CD-80178 [with Smetana: Quartet No. 1]
Playing on the matched set of Paganini Strads form the Corcoran Gallery in Washington, D.C., the Cleveland Quartet shows that Americans can do the music proud, too. Their reading is well paced and thoughtfully phrased, and while their sound is lighter than that of the Borodin ensemble, it is handsomely captured in Telarc’s 1988 recording. Smetana’s E minor Quartet (From My Life) makes for a desirable coupling. – Ted Libbey, author of
