Ernest Chausson Albert Roussel Via Nova Quartet - String Quartet Op 35 String Quartet In D Major Op 45

Review by Lucio Raineri

The String Quartet Op 35 and String Quartet In D Major Op 45 by Ernest Chausson and Albert Roussel, respectively, are beautifully performed by the Via Nova Quartet. The quartet's technical skill and musicality shine through in every movement of both works. The ensemble's interpretation of Chausson's Op 35 is particularly noteworthy, with their sensitive and nuanced approach to the composer's complex harmonies and emotional depth. The quartet's playing is full of energy and vitality, yet they always maintain a sense of balance and control. Roussel's Op 45 is equally impressive, with the quartet capturing the work's playful and whimsical character. this recording is a must-have for fans of French chamber music, and a testament to the Via Nova Quartet's prowess as performers.
