Title: Great, But Forgettable
Review: My reaction to this and the two subsequent volumes of Molique quartets on cpo is exactly the same as my reaction to the work of Louis Spohr. It's utterly captivating music to listen to, but when an individual work is over, nothing about it sticks in the memory. Such a description might cause you to put these discs in the Save for Later bin. But I don't recommend that: not everything needs to be Beethoven!Spohr was on my mind after I'd listened to this album and then took a look at the liner notes. So I wasn't at all surprised to learn that Molique, despite the French name, was actually German -- and a pupil of Spohr. If second-tier composers are too lowly for you, you'd be missing a mental and emotional treat here. So what if, when you put this in your player, you have no clear picture of what you're going to hear. When you do hear it, splendidly played by the Mannheim String Quartet, it's a joy!
