This version of Purcell/Britten: String Fantasias In Four Parts/String Quartets Nos.1-3 comes as a 2xCD. - .. FANTASIAS IN FOUR PARTS/STRING QUARTETS NOS.1-3Founded in 1998 at Pro Corda, Suffolk, the multi-award-winning Doric String Quartet describes recording Britten's quartets as a significant milestone: 'In our recording we have endeavoured to tread a line that brings out the humanity in these works but also recognises the need for distance and fragility. This is very personal and intimate music, yet also world-encompassing and timeless.' The Quartet continues: 'Another feature of this recording is that Hélène Clément, our violist, is playing on Benjamin Britten's own viola. This instrument (on loan from the Britten-Pears Foundation) was made in 1843 in Milan by Francesco Guissani. It was previously owned by the composer Frank Bridge who gave it to Britten, as a departure gift when Britten and Pears set sail for the USA in 1939.' Hélène Clément writes: 'To be able to explore the music of Britten with the very sound that the composer had in his ears is the greatest honour and joy I could have imagined.'The CD "Streichquartette 1-3/Fantasias in Four Parts" by the Doric String Quartet, released by Chandos Records, presents an exquisite interpretation of Henry Purcell's masterful string quartets and fantasias.
