Product Description

Review

Passion, precision, warmth, a gold blend: these are the trademarks of this excellent Israeli string quartet. And the repertoire, drawn from three different periods of Mozart s life, is marvellous. From the teenage triumph of K157 to the mature subtleties of K589, each example extends the genre s boundaries. Highlights? The finesse of phrasing in K458 s minuet; the exquisite tone of the ensemble s cello (formerly played by the great Jacqueline du Pré); and the slow movements that reach ever deeper into Mozart s heart. (Harmonia Mundi; out now). **** --Geoff Brown , The Times, February 5 2011

Immaculate, spirited playing...exhilarating and satisfying performances. --Sunday Times, Feb 2011

5.0 out of 5 stars Riveted 29 April 2012
By Michael Arch

The Jerusalem Quartet on Harmonia Mundi playing Mozart Quartets K 157, 458 & 589 a true revelation! I think I am beginning to hear the Prussian 589 for the first time. I have listened to many other performances but the Jerusalem Quartet has my full attention. I look forward to the day when they record all the other five quartets dedicated to Haydn. The attack and pacing of the `Hunt' was riveting. More please! Five stars are not enough!

5.0 out of 5 stars A master class in quartet playing 7 Sep 2011
By Fludge
Format:Audio CD
Wasn't too keen on The Jerusalem Quartet's Haydn discs, not earthy enough & I much prefer the Lindsays' gruffer style. However, I was taken a back at the wonderful playing of Mozart on this disc. Perfect.
