The five string quintets and clarinet quintet Mozart composed in his final years gush with inexhaustible expressive and structural riches, which is not to slight the earlier, lighter-gaited K. 174 quintet. Of the various Mozart Quintet cycles crowding the catalogs, a 1995 set featuring the Talich Quartet and guest violist Karel Rehak has been reissued on three discs that sell for the cost of one full price disc. The playing is all one could wish for. Listen, for instance, to the perfectly dovetailed solo entrances at the outset of the K. 515 C major Quintet, supported by rock solid yet shapely chording. Notice, too how the ensemble shades the G minor quintet’s aching chromaticism with exquisite color and expressive economy, as well as the head-to-toe clarity of the inner parts. Clarinetist Bohuslav Zahradnik’s vivid phrasing and aromatic timbre achieves a blend with the darkly focused strings that might be akin to a splash of cilantro atop goose liver pâté. Add Calliope’s excellent engineering, and you have a Mozart Quintet cycle that takes its rightful place alongside memorable versions from the Budapest and Danish Quartets. A heavenly bargain, not to be passed up. [11/14/1999]

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (27 January 1756 in Salzburg – 5 December 1791 in Vienna) was a prolific and influential composer of the Classical era. Mozart showed prodigious ability from his earliest childhood. Already competent on keyboard and violin, he composed from the age of five and performed before European royalty. Till his death in Vienna, he composed over 600 works, many acknowledged as pinnacles of symphonic, concertante, chamber, operatic, and choral music. Mozart is among the most enduringly popular of classical composers, and his influence is profound on subsequent Western art music.

***
The Talich Quartet is a Czech string quartet founded in 1964 by Jan Talich, Sr. (born 1945) while still a student at Prague Conservatory, and named after his famous uncle Václav Talich, the conductor and founder of the Czech Philharmonic. Specializing in works by Czech composers, they have premièred works by Viktor Kalabis, Luboš Fišer and Luboš Sluka. They made many records for Calliope, and won several Grand Prix du Disque and Diapason d'or awards. La Dolce Volta label has acquired the entire discography of the Talich Quartet from Calliope, and is continuing to work with the current line-up.
