The players are on good form for the Vivace, timing its humorous silences to perfection, and there is some seasoned playing in an Adagio di molto that feels full of regret. In the ‘Voces intimae’ Quartet (1909) the group lends real gravitas to the first movement’s declamatory tutti moments and builds up the music to a rich climax of sound.

The more lightly scored middle movements don’t suffer in this way – cellist Nicholas Roberts’s song-like line in the Intermezzo and Roger Coull’s Scottish-sounding folk melody are charmingly conveyed. The recording doesn’t help – the individual instruments’ timbres are not brought to us with enough clarity and the balance needs adjusting. In these big passages, with MartinuRoscoe running the gamut of the keyboard, violist Gustav Clarkson needs a whole section behind him for his melody, and in the finale cello and viola don’t stand a chance against Roscoe’s great rolling arpeggios. A burgeoning symphonist can already be sensed in the epic opening of the early Piano Quintet (1890). The Coull Quartet, now in its fourth decade, turns to Sibelius for the first time in its extensive discography. So, top recommendations for both works, and an inspired coupling – don’t hesitate.Musicians: Coull Quartet, MartinuRoscoe (piano) And at last here’s a performance of the Vivace second movement that makes this music sound as though it really was conceived for four solo strings – not as a string orchestra manqué.

It’s wonderful to hear the Schoenberg played not only with such flawless intonation, but also with such understanding for the way the music thinks harmonically. Here are two composers courageously entering new imaginative worlds, and opening up vistas that surprise The Sibelius is said to sit, not entirely comfortably, between the neo-classicism of the Third Symphony and the dark explorations of the Fourth – and does it really work as chamber music? But after the Tetzlaff Quartet’s performances these issues seem barely relevant. The Schoenberg – so we’re told – shows him repeatedly teetering on the edge of the atonal chasm before drawing back in relief. But hearing these works side by side is fascinating and strangely moving.īoth quartets have tended to be seen as problematic: transition works rather than fully focused statements.
