Product Description
[Reissue of Dutton Epoch CDLX 7114 & CDLX 7123.] Edmund Rubbra's String Quartets span his career from 1933 to 1977. Possibly the Second is the best known, but as a group they make an unmissable pendant to the symphonies. Possibly the most important string quartet cycle by any British composer, the Dutton Epoch recordings by the Dante Quartet enjoyed a very positive critical reception when they first appeared, and have now been re-packaged as a bargain-priced 2-CD box set. Track listing: String Quartet No.2 in E flat, Op.73 (1951): i. Allegro moderato ii. Scherzo Polimetrico (Vivace assai) iii. Cavatina (Adagio tranquillo) iv.

Andante moderato ma liberamente - Allegretto scherzando ii. Adagio e con molta espressione String Quartet No.1 in F minor, Op.35 (1933-34 rev. 1946) i. Allegretto moderato

I came to the music of Rubbra via his symphonies, which can be a little daunting. This set shows a more intimate, reserved side of the composer, and Dutton Recordings are to be congratulated for releasing repertoire which is, to the best of my knowledge, not otherwise available.
The Dante Quartet acquit themselves well and are excellently recorded. This would make an ideal introduction to the composer's work before tackling the wonderful symphony cycle conducted by the late Richard Hickox (RIP) on Chandos where further delights abound - but maybe that's a story for another review.
Buy and enjoy!
