Chiaroscuro Quartet- HAYDN: String Quartets Op.20 No.4-6 "Sun" (海顿弦乐四重奏/2017) [FLAC/24/96]
Formed in 2005, the Chiaroscuro Quartet comprises violinists Alina Ibragimova (from Russia) and Pablo Hernán Benedí (from Spain), the Swedish violist Emilie Hörnlund and cellist Claire Thirion from France. Their discography includes music by Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert and Mendelssohn, and in 2015 they were the recipients of Germany’s prestigious Preis der Deutschen Schallplattenkritik for their recording of Mozart’s Quartet in D minor K.421 and Mendelssohn’s second string quartet in A minor Op.13. Now the Chiaroscuro have turned to Haydn, specifically the first three of the six Op.20 quartets which the composer wrote in 1772.
There are many esteemed recordings of the Op.20 quartets from which to choose; and, recent additions to the available selection have included the 2015 recording by the Doric Quartet and the London Haydn Quartet’s 2011 release. So, one might wonder what the pan-European Chiaroscuro Quartet have to say, that has not already been said?
Well, first, the players’ use of historical bows and gut strings results in a soft-edged, light-weight sound which unifies Haydn’s ever-evolving, busy contrapuntal conversations. This is a ‘dialogue’ which is quite different to the dramatic, incisive, individualised voices that we more regularly hear today. But, while Gramophone may have described the ensemble as “a trailblazer for the authentic performance of High Classical chamber music”, a light sound, minimal rubato and the occasional rasp of the bow on gut, do not guarantee ‘historically informed authenticity’ – or signal it as an intent. Indeed, the Chiaroscuro’s approach is idiosyncratic with regard to dynamics, tempi and phrasing; they make the music intimate and personal, revealing Haydn’s ‘romanticism’
