The second album from the young members of the Zurich-based Merel Quartet is pure listening joy. The four string players, unswervingly pursuing their artistic path with a wide repertoire away from the mainstream, present two mature Mozart quartets full of contrasts: brightness and darkness, vitality and pain, extroversion and inwardness. All this in wonderfully explored, exciting and sonorously beautiful interpretations.
