Brodsky cellist Jacqueline Thomas calls the opening movement of Ravel's quartet 'impressionist', and that's certainly the way the ensemble plays it, teasing out rallentandos expressively, moulding phrase supply, and straining to distil the 'breathless beauty' Thomas also mentions...The Gershwin is warmly affectionate.

It's hard to understand the thematic connection linking the five composers featured here, but the Brodsky Quartet treats each according to their requirements: gently sentimental when dealing with Gershwin's posthumous "Lullaby", and fastidiously detailed when interpreting Mario Lavista's "Reflejos De La Noche"
