The album CPE Bach3 Quartets Fantasy In C by McGeganMackintoshPleethHogwood is a delightful compilation of classical music that showcases the talents of the four artists. The quartets are beautifully composed and performed, with each artist bringing their unique style to the pieces.
The album features three quartets, each with its distinct character and mood. The first quartet is a lively and playful composition, while the second quartet is more contemplative and introspective. The third quartet is a combination of both, with a sense of drama and urgency.
The performances by the artists are exceptional, with each musician demonstrating their technical skills and artistry. The quartet is led by Nicholas McGegan, whose direction is both authoritative and sensitive to the nuances of the music. Violinist Catherine Mackintosh, cellist Anthony Pleeth, and harpsichordist Christopher Hogwood provide excellent support, with their playing complementing each other perfectly.
