Coull Quartet play Sibelius

Sibelius:

Piano Quintet in G minor

with Martin Roscoe (piano)

String Quartet in D minor, Op. 56 'Voces Intimae'

Coull Quartet

SOMM’s successful collaboration with the Coull Quartet continues this month with an unusual CD release of chamber music by Sibelius featuring the String Quartet ‘Voces Intimae’ in D minor which has had a handful of previous recordings and the Piano Quintet in G minor, with pianist Martin Roscoe, which is even less well represented in the CD catalogue.

“Martin Roscoe and the Coull Quartet take [the Piano Quintet] seriously as chamber music...[and] demonstrate well enough what a coherently and originally argued work the mature Voces Intimae Quartet is” BBC Music Magazine, August 2010 ****

“...the Coulls prove unflashy, dedicated and profoundly humane interpreters of the great D minor Quartet...scrupulously faithful to both the letter and the spirit of the score, and their pacing throughout strikes me as pretty much spot-on…Acquire with confidence!” Gramophone Magazine, September 2010

“Roscoe and the Coull Quartet play [the Quintet] with sympathy and conviction, and their eloquence shows the work to best advantage. In Voces intimae the Coull show show themselves as well attuned to the spirit (and letter) of this lovely score. The Somm recording is truthful and well balanced...a useful addition to the Sibelius discography.” International Record Review, October 2010
