The Dudok Quartet Amsterdam embark on a traversal of the three string quartets of Tchaikovsky. This first volume contains Nos.1 & 2. No.1 has one of the most famous movements in ch amber music; the beautiful Andante cantabile slow movement. The second quartet, though less popular, is a step forward for the composer. He said that it "was my best work, no other piece has poured forth from me so simply and easily. I wrote it in almost one sitting." The album concludes with the much loved Lensky's Aria from Eugene Onegin in a new arrangement for string quartet by David Faber, cellist of the Dudok Quartet.
