Rochberg: Quartet No. 3 - Concord SQ (GREAT!)

Posted by banpuku (A) on November 17, 2016 at 16:49:35

I recently acquired a Nonesuch LP of Concord SQs interpretation of Rochberg's 3rd Quartet. I am not much of a musicologist, but I can certainly ascertain when something is just right. And this is just right! The Concord attacks the music with vengeance. The pizzicatos in the 4th movement are quite compelling. The music keeps the listener engaged and at times, with a tight fisted grip.

Sonically, this LP ranks up there with some of the best. Good 3D spatial depth and width. Tonal balance is very very good. Just the right amount of color and woody tone to make it feel real.

As a side note, this score appears to have been heavily influenced by Bartok's quartets. Several times during the 4th movement I became aware of Bartok-like passages. Very interesting.
