Dudok Kwartet Amsterdam (Judith van Driel - violin 1, Marleen Wester - violin 2, Lotte de Vries - viola, David Faber - 'cello)
Following on from their critically acclaimed debut album (Métamorphoses: Haydn, Ligeti & Brahms), the Dudok Kwartet Amsterdam returns to the Resonus label with a compelling programme of works around the theme of counterpoint & labyrinth.
Alongside the first of Mozart’s ‘Haydn’ Quartets the group presents György Ligeti’s complex micropolyphonic second string quartet, while completing the album are musical puzzles in the form of canons by J.S. Bach.
MOZART, Wolfgang Amadeus (1756-1791) | | String Quartet No. 14 in G major, KV 387. | | 1. | I. Allegro vivace assai | 8:02 | | 2. | II. Menuetto & Trio | 8:25 | | 3. | III. Andante cantabile | 7:19 | | 4. | IV. Molto allegro | 6:12 | | LIGETI, György (1923-2006) | | String Quartet No. 2. | | 5. | I. Allegro nervoso | 5:12 | | 6. | II. Sostenuto, molto calmo | 4:40 | | 7. | III. Come un meccanismo di precisione | 3:13 | | 8. | IV. Presto furioso, brutale, tumultuoso | 2:08 | | 9. | V. Allegro con delicatezza | 5:29 | | BACH, Johann Sebastian (1685-1750) | | 10. | Canon zu vier Stimmen, BWV 1074 | 1:35 | | 11. | Canon zu vier Stimmen und Bass, BWV 1077 | 0:49 | | 12. | Canon zu acht Stimmen, BWV 1072 | 1:11 | | 13. | Canon zu sieben Stimmen mit feststehenden Bass BWV 1078 | 1:01 | | 'Mozart uses rhythmic and dynamic ruses to confuse us in his String Quartet No 14 in G major and wrong-foots us completely with a double fugue, while Ligeti employs thickets of micropolyphony to obscure the way through his frightening String Quartet No 2, cogently played by these imaginative players.'
