Brilliant music, excellent performances.......2006-10-11

I must admit up front that when it comes to classic music, I prefer chamber music (any era or style). If you like chamber music, buy this set. If you are are curious about chamber music and Dvorak's work, buy a budget single CD of any Dvorak string quartets. When you've fallen in love with Dvorak's work --- and you will --- then buy this set.

These are simply some of the finest string quartets ever written. Lyrical and inventive, they will make you understand why Brahms and Dvorak were such good friends and admired each other's work so much. There are other recordings out there of various quartets, particularly the late ones. But the value in having a complete set is that you get to hear the composer's development, and you get to hear infrequently played yet brilliant works. A good example is the Quartet No. 5, which is intense --- as full of bite as, say, "Death and the Maiden," yet as richly melodic as anything Dvorak ever wrote. The recording is clean and warm, the playing precise yet soulful. The set is now selling for about $12 more than I paid for it, but it's still a bargain. You will never regret having bought it.

Dvorak.......2006-05-16

One of the best composers for chamber music together with Joseph Haydyn, I think. Thank you.

A little cold.......2006-01-16

Compaired to the Vlach on Naxos, this exelent recording left me a little cold. Where is all the emotion that these quartet's should have.

Music to get your blood flowing!.......2005-11-24

Wow! Great quartets played with real gusto and dynamism by the Prager String Quartet. The sound is incredibly crisp and clear. The performances are impeccable. You won't be disappointed!

The finest readings I have heard of these quartets.......2005-11-04

I have heard multiple recordings of these quartets, including the Chiligirian quartet, and selections by the Amadeus quartet, Hagen quartet, Melos quartet, Vlach quartet and Cleveland quartet. However, these renditions are (in my opinion) the most adherent to the Czech folk roots. I'm sure it helps that the ensemble is in fact Czech-for that reason they seem to have an edge over some of the other notable groups which have made recordings. Everyone has obviously heard the American quartet, but just as fine are quartets 10,11, 13 and 14 (as well as 7-9). I am less entranced by the early works, but they are not without their merit as well.
Overall, the sound seems a bit better in this re-release than in the previous version available on CD. Not much better, but better. And at this price, it is an absolute steal. Highly recommended for lovers of chamber music, or Dvorak in general.

Naxos is currently the only major record label devoting any serious and systematic attention to the great legacy of classical chamber music from the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries. They have complete sets of quartets by Haydn, Mozart, Schubert, Shostakovich, and Dvorák in the works, and of these the Dvorák series is the most important. Dvorak wrote 14 quartets in all, ranging from the longest classical string quartet in history (No. 3, at some 70 minutes!), to the finest works in the medium since Beethoven (Nos. 13 and 14). They represent an entire universe of superb music awaiting the discovery of music lovers, and at a budget price these able performances offer the curious their best chance yet to try them out. --David Hurwitz

Best.......2006-01-16

The Vlach Prague Quartet nails this. I can imagine that Dvorak would like it played this way...no other recoding conveys this amount of emotion. Some other well rated recordings Leave me cold.

gorgeous.......2001-04-29

All around beauty, sumptuously played. I like a very romantic, old world approach to this repetoire, and that's just what this group provides: relaxed tempos quick to pick up the pace when needed, a tendency toward rapt intensity, a coaxing and moulded handling of those lusciously long melodic lines, and a big rich warm tone. It's all here, and in spades. My only quibble would be that the first violinist does not "stand out" with her great melody in the last movement of the American -- that her line gets lost in an overly blended sonority. A nitpick only. I heartily recommend this disc, and at its price you can afford to add it to a collection that already possesses an "American".

Excellent Performances of Fine Music.......2000-08-09

These two fine performances are another fine addition to the Vlach Quartet's splendid traversal of the Dvorák's music for string quartet. The recordings, done by Naxos in the Martinek Studio in Prague, are excellent.

The most popular of Dvorák's quartets is no. 12, Op. 96, dubbed the "American" quartet because it was composed during his sojourn in the United States. The Vlach's give the first movement Allegro a tasteful, romantic interpretation. The famous slow movement, one of the glories of chamber music, is done with ravishing beauty. The sprightly Molto Vivace is done with and good humour, while the final movement is spirited and graceful in turns.

I have an older recording with the Gabrieli Quartet on LP, which is very beautiful, as well. Since it is similarly conceived, a comparison is in order. Though not better than the Vlach's, their performance of the Lento second movement is particularly lovely. However, they seem a little more self-consciously arty, less idiomatic, than the Vlach Quartet does in this repertoire. I suppose this is a matter of taste, but I prefer the Vlach performance. The recording, while quite good, is not as natural as the Naxos one.

I have no comparisons for Quartet no. 13, Op. 106, but the playing is quite wonderful. The highly original first movement Allegro is full of cross rhythms, and sounds like nothing else I have ever heard. The Adagio second movement is has achingly beautiful close harmonies, which are perfectly judged by the Vlachs. The third movement is a forthright Molto Vivace, given a vigourous performance. The fourth moverment starts out slowly, but soon becomes more agitated. It seems the titles of most of Dvorák's movements do not express the contents, as they contain material with a variety of moods and tempos. Suffice to say that the Vlach Quartet negotiates the interpretative difficulties of the fourth movement with ease, and give a rousing climax.

Customer Reviews:

a wonderful listening experience.......2007-07-16

The Panocha Quartet, which was formed in 1968, began recording the Dvorak quartets in 1983 & finished up in 1999 - fourteen quartets plus the "Cypresses" were laid down over sixteen years. The musicians, who have played together since their student days at the Prague Conservatory, demonstrate a complete understanding of & identification with the Dvorakian idiom. There is a maturity & joy to their playing that is truly a pleasure to hear.

Anybody who loves Dvorak will appreciate this music - even the early quartets have some glorious writing. Just listen to the last movement of the first quartet (op. 2) which has all the hallmarks of great Dvorak. Of course the early works are not as inspired as the later ones, but because this complete cycle presents the quartets in chronological order, a feature that I particularly like, you can follow Dvorak as his work matured.

There are other complete cycles of the Dvorak quartets available, most notably the Prague Quartet set on DGG, however, I am most familiar with the Vlach Quartet's effort on Naxos. I had several of their discs, but replaced them with this set when I decided I wanted all of the quartets. I went with the Panocha Quartet after a good deal of research, including culling through reviews that appeared when the individual discs were originally released. The critical consensus was extremely positive: Classics Today called this "the finest recorded set in one box."

Warmly recommended to all chamber music (and Dvorak) lovers.

Fabulour Lindsay String Quartet Recording.......2003-10-28

This recording is one of the closest to a live performance I've ever heard. Its a must for anyone with curiosity - you don't have to like Janacek, string quartets or even classical music to hear the guts in the performance and sheer conviction. A long time fan of the Lindsays', I heard them play these pieces live in London many years ago at one of the most emotive concerts I've ever been to. The recording takes you on a similar ride - the music is visceral and the playing totally convincing.

The Lindsays are England's finest active string quartet. They have a somewhat raw and edgy sound, but they perform with a passion and spontaneity that makes up in excitement what they sometimes lack in seductive tone. They attack these two quartets as though their very lives depended on it, and while this makes for a very high-pressure The American Quartet,the performance of No. 13 is simply electrifying. In a way, this is more important, because The American Quartet is so charming as to be almost performer-proof. It always works. No. 13, on the other hand, is a flaming masterpiece that repays the 110 percent conviction it receives here. A great quartet record. --David Hurwitz

These are Dvorák's last and greatest quartets. He wrote them simultaneously after his return home from America in 1895, so the numbering is ambiguous and often reversed. The quartets overflow with romantic ardor and lyricism; beguiling, heartwarming melodies; pungent, spicy rhythms; and inspired harmonies and modulations. They reach the depths and heights of human emotion, from intimate inwardness and radiant serenity to ecstasy and exuberance. The end of Op. 106 seems to interweave past and present, reverie and reality, as Dvorák, in a reluctant valediction, nostalgically combines themes from earlier movements with those of the Finale. The instrumental writing is full of intricate counterpoint and very demanding for all four players: viola and cello are prominent, the two violins almost equal except that the first soars more radiantly.

The Melos Quartet does very well technically, but they are tonally and musically disappointing. The sound is dry and inexpressive; the balance favors the bass, eclipsing the first violin. The playing is tame, cool, stiff, emotionally restrained, rhythmically inflexible--in short, totally unromantic, as if the musicians were afraid to show their feelings. The absence of the music's characteristic lilt invites interesting comparisons with two Czech String Quartets, who have Dvorák's idiomatic rhythms and inflections in their blood. They are very different from each other, proving that musical affinity goes beyond nationality. The Vlach Quartet Prague (Naxos 8.553371 and 8.553374) is the Melos's exact opposite: bright and lush in tone, effusive, extroverted, free, with extreme tempos and excessive contrasts of dynamics and character. The Talich Quartet (Calliope CAL 9280) is the most satisfying: their tone is warm, varied, nuanced, and very expressive; their feeling for the music in all its changing moods is so deep and strong that they need no exaggeration. --Edith Eisler
