Jonathan Harvey Arditti String Quartet, Nieuw Ensemble, Felix Renggli, Ed Spanjaard - String Quartets Lotuses Scena
Review by Courtney VandeMerwe
The album "String Quartets Lotuses Scena" by Jonathan Harvey Arditti String Quartet, Nieuw Ensemble, Felix Renggli, Ed Spanjaard is a stunning example of contemporary classical music. The album features three string quartets by British composer Jonathan Harvey, each performed with precision and passion by the Arditti String Quartet.
The first quartet, "String Quartet No. 4," is a haunting and atmospheric piece that showcases Harvey's ability to create complex and intricate textures using only four instruments. The second quartet, "String Quartet No. 3," is a more melodic and lyrical work, with moments of intense emotional depth. The final quartet, "String Quartet No. 2," is a challenging and complex piece that pushes the boundaries of what is possible with string instruments.
The performances on the album are superb, with the Arditti String Quartet delivering a flawless and nuanced interpretation of each piece. The addition of the Nieuw Ensemble, Felix Renggli, and Ed Spanjaard adds depth and complexity to the sound, creating a rich and layered listening experience.
