Об альбоме (сборнике)
The Smetana String Quartet began playing together in 1943 and became formally known as the Smetana Quartet in 1945. They continued playing together until 1989 with only two changes in membership. Jiří Novák replaced violinist (turned conductor) Václav Neumann in 1947 and violist Milan Škampa joined in 1956. Over the years they recorded the first Smetana Quartet 5 times and the second 6 times. The recordings here are their third recording of each one.
“I note that the critical opening chord*** of Smetana’s ‘From My Life’ can be interpreted as a hammer-blow (Lindsay/ASV), cry of angst (Talich/Collins) or deep sigh (Smetanovo/Denon). The interpretation of Smetanovo is similar to that of the Talich, emotional but well behaved – the Lindsays are gut-wrenchingly manic/depressive. In tempi, the Smetanovo are the slowest drivers on the road, but the music does pick up and dance the Polka at times. The emotions are there, but you won’t need a hanky to wipe your eyes.
“It was interesting to cue up this SACD reissue against its CD original, since any audible difference is presumably the technology. The original PCM disc has been described by others as ‘dry’ and I agree: lots of treble but thin bass. What happens when this is subjected to the intensity of SACD? The new technology enriches the treble with fine detail but the bass is still attenuated. Tellingly, I had to reduce the volume from my initial setting because the highs occasionally inflicted pain on the hearing. Nonetheless, the SACD version is a (modest) improvement on the CD.
“In summary, this disc is worth acquiring for the music’s sake.”
