Title: Divine, delicate sonority
Review: Borodin's 2nd Quartet is a perfect example of the renaissance principle that beautiful music mimics the human voice. To the credit of the eponymous quartet, while listening to the notturno, I feel as if am being serenaded by a beautiful chanteuse. It is a movement of such profound elegance and feeling that one is disarmed by the experience, while the movements framing it are in turn lyrical and provocative. Certainly a keystone of the repertoire.
