About

Tchaikovsky was a composer of music demonstrating profound emotions, a fact which comes through on this recording. The musicians of the Klenke Quartet prove themselves to be the ideal conduit of Tchaikovsky’s personal, almost confessional messages, combining clarity and precision with bright colours and intensity in their playing.

The Klenkes arrest one's attention immediately; the opening chordal motif is relentlessly sustained with little or no vibrato; against this the impassioned, vibrant violin phrases stand out dramatically.
