Movie Reviews of String Quartets 2 3 & 6
Movie Review: Outstanding
Summary: 5 Stars
Highly recommended.
The playing is exciting and flawless. The sound (DTS and 2 channel) is perfect. The video is "high definition", though I'm not sure what is meant by that, since the disc isn't either HD-DVD or Blu-Ray. But whatever the technical meaning, the picture is crisp and full of color. The backdrop is a richly decorated victorian room, a feast for the eyes. The camera-work is varied but not too busy - just perfect. The introductory interviews are insightful and entertaining.
As far as Bartok's quartets (2, 3, and 6 on this recording), that's beyond the scope of this review. For anyone not familiar with them, a Google search is in order.
This is a VERY musically and visually satisfying disc. I hope they release the other three Bartok quartets soon.
