Janácek, Ligeti: Quartets.

Finally, the First Quartet by Ligeti, subtitled Métamorphoses nocturnes because of its particular form. The composer described the work as a sort of theme and variations, but not with a specific theme that is then subsequently varied: rather, it is a single musical thought appearing under constantly new guises – for this reason the word ‘metamophoses’ is more appropriate than ‘variations’. Formed in 1994 at the Royal College of Music in London, the Belcea Quartet already has an impressive discography, including the complete Beethoven string quartets (ALPHA262). For this new recording, the ensemble has chosen three quartets by two iconic composers of the 20th century: Leos Janáček and György Ligeti. Fifteen years after their first recording for Zig-Zag, and after some changes in personnel, they have decided to record again the two string quartets by Janáček.

Janáček's first string quartet is based on Tolstoy's novella "The Kreuzer Sonata". A story of adultery, jealousy and murder, the Belcea Quartet approach the work as a kind of musical thriller. The London-based quartet already recorded both of Janáček's brilliant quartets fifteen years ago, and on this recording, they sound all the more urgent. Cannily paired with Ligeti's nocturnal Metamorphoses.
