Korsakov's Quartets...

Sébastien Melmoth | Hôtel d'Alsace, PARIS | 11/19/2007

(5 out of 5 stars)

".

A nice disc of rather undistinguished pieces for string quartet by Russian master N. A. Rimsky-Korsakov.

The Op. 12 String Quartet is in the congenial key of F-major, well-wrought, and not too long at :20mins.

Two other pieces for quartet medium: a fugue, and Choral-Variation.

Finally the "B-la-f" Quartet wherein Korsakov wrote the first movement Allegro; Lyadov, the Scherzo; Borodin, the tiny Serenade; and lastly, Glazunov, the Finale. Actually, Korsakov's movement contains the finest minutes of the disc with a distinctly Russian flavour, at :11mins.
