But aside from these historical and autobiographical similarities, the biggest reason for the success of this program is the quality of the performances. When this disc was released in 2006, the Artemis Quartett had issued only a handful of discs of music by either contemporary composers, modernist composers, or Beethoven, and listeners might not have expected a coupling of works by Czech composers to work as well. But, in fact, these performances of Dvorák and Janácek are as committed, as polished, as bracing, and as ardent as any of the group's earlier performances. And it's wonderful to hear this kind of energy, enthusiasm, and intelligence devoted to works normally given performances of the lighter and slighter variety. For listeners who already know the works, this disc will let them hear the music with new ears. For listeners who don't already know the works, this disc is a splendid introduction. Either way, they can't lose, particularly in Virgin's vivid, warm, and detailed sound.
