\n“If the word Arcadia stands as a symbol for beauty, the playing of the Arcadia String Quartet certainly lived up to the expectations of its name.
\nTechnically immaculate, the four-player ensemble, wide dynamics, beauty of tone and commitment to give of their very best, impressed a good audience at the Playhouse on November 12.”<\/em><\/div>\n

Jan\u00e1\u010dek: String Quartets Arcadia Quartet (Orchid Classics)<\/em>
\n“I still listen to a beloved, crackly, Supraphon LP of these pieces made by the Jan\u00e1\u010dek Quartet in the early 1960s. Comparing their vintage readings with newer performances is always difficult; their mellow, consolatory approach can sound under-characterised when compared to many contemporary performances. This new recording by the young Arcadia Quartet handsomely exemplifies this modern trend \u2013 and on its own terms it’s pretty impressive.
\nThese two quartets are magnificently peculiar works, still sounding like nothing else in the chamber repertoire. Ideas flare up without warning and then disappear. Violent, visceral outbursts abruptly melt into fruity cadences. Snatches of folk melody dissolve into snatches of quasi-operatic dialogue. The tunes, such as they are, are glorious; there’s stomping, earthy theme at the start of the Second Quartet’s finale which is catchy beyond belief. This work, inspired by Jan\u00e1\u010dek’s unrequited love for Kamila St\u00f6sslov\u00e1, was premiered just weeks after the composer’s death, and the Arcadia Quartet manage the ecstacy beautifully. The stratospheric first violin line in the third movement’s dance section is phenomenal here. You feel that you’re eavesdropping on something very private. The finale’s exultant, screeching close leaves you feeling, rightly, exhausted.
\nThe darker first quartet, loosely inspired by Tolstoy’s short story The Kreutzer Sonata, is more emotionally ambiguous. I like the Arcadia’s shadowy opening, and there’s a bone-chilling passage in the third movement where a pallid cello and viola canon is sabotaged by screaming sul ponticello effects in the upper strings. The whole work lasts just 17 minutes, but this performance feels much weightier. If you don’t know these pieces, the Arcadia Quartet offer an ideal starting point. Close-up, dryish sound adds to the visceral impact.”<\/em><\/div>\n

“On the strength of this recital alone, the Arcadia must be one of the finest young quartets around, and judging by the rapturous reception they received, the audience agreed.”<\/em><\/div>\n
