5.0 out of 5 stars Reflective, moving and absorbing, 7 Aug 2008
By maximus "Max" (manchester, uk) - See all my reviews
  
I can't claim to be a big fan of Messiaen's music, and I came across this Quartet by way of having heard the 3rd movement played by Paul Meyer on a CD of 20th century clarinet solo music (reviewed separately in my list of reviews on Amazon.co.uk). I was so fascinated by the movement that I looked further into the complete quartet, and on balance decided to buy this CD based on the distinguished ensemble and the bargain price.

So it's an added bonus that I found this recording very absorbing and enjoyed it very much. The ensemble plays reflectively and brings a certain immediacy and life to music which could otherwise be interpreted as "difficult" or challenging. Challenging it certainly is but made very moving and absorbing by this group of fine musicians.

It's one that I listen to often and it is one of my favourites from my CD collection.
