Apollon Musagète Quartett & Gabriela Montero

Chamber music with a capital C. That’s what the Apollon Musagète Quartet stands for. Let yourself be carried away by their delightful programme. For starters, there’s Schubert’s Quartet in G, D173, an eddying stream brimming with brooding emotion. Absolutely perfect for the Apollon Musagète Quartet.
Equally intense but far more cheerful is Dvorák’s sparkling Piano Quintet. All the ingredients that make him so well-loved are present in abundance: stirring melodies, dancing rhythms and fresh, natural timbres, with here and there a pinch of Slavic melancholy. With the Apollon Musagète Quartet and their pianist Gabriela Montero, this is a performance that is sure to spark infectious delight. The latter throws herself wholeheartedly into Rachmaninov’s passionate Second Sonata. Fervour and fire guaranteed!
