A delightful album here. Up today is the 1977 Columbia Special Products reissue of one of the Mozart Commemorative Celebration of 1956 series that was released by CBS/Epic. This particular lp features Mozart's early quartets K.155 - 158 in performances by the shortlived New Music Quartet whose members were Broadus Earle, Matthew Raimondi, Walter Trampler and David Soyer.
I won't write much today - returned from a business trip and I'm under the weather. What I will say is that the playing here is sensitive, glowing and impeccable. This is music making where the phrases just flow out naturally and the pieces unfold without forced effort. What strikes me about these artists is that one does not dominate another, here is a true partnership where a collaborative effort yields beautiful music by the most remarkable prodigy in the history of music.
