About
Cpo’s discovery of Pleyel’s String Quartets continues with his Prussian Quartets Nos. 4-6 performed by the Pleyel Quartet of Cologne. Pleyel’s appealing artistic writing style, his feel for drama, and the soloistic demands placed on each and every quartet member earned his string quartets by far the highest performance figures in London during 1785-1800.

All four players are given ample space to shine by Pleyel's quite evenly-distributed parts, and none disappoints. As a matter of fact, the PQK give as historically authentic a performance as is possible here, by dint of consultation of two early editions of the Quartets and their fine-sounding period instruments, all originals from the 1700s.
