String Quartet in G minor, Op.10 (1893)
A silky-smooth sound, flawless intonation and a richness of sound which combined will turn even bargain speakers into high-end equipment: Buyers of the new Genuin CD have all this and more to look forward to as the four Swiss musicians add to the praiseworthy Edition Artist Consort series. It is scarcely possible to perform these great works for string quartet by Debussy and Ravel with as much transparency, clarity, agility, in a word, with such authenticity as achieved by the Sine Nomine Quartet. Also noteworthy: the miniatures by Stravinsky, works whose elegance and French style are a perfect complement to the quartets. This is a must for string quartet fans of any name.
"One has rarely heard this Quartet played with such effervescence and as full of energy as by the nameless musicians from Lausanne, the Quatuor Sine Nomine."
