Ernest Chausson died when his bicycle crashed into a wall. Among the various projects he left behind were some orchestral overtures, a violin sonata, a second symphony and this string quartet. He had finished the first two movements of the quartet and was nearly at the end of the third when the accident happened. D’Indy completed the third movement and it is for this reason it seems appropriate to couple the two works on this recording.
Vincent d’Indy, once one of Franck’s pupils, completed three string quartets in his lifetime and left one incomplete on his death. He used traditional forms of sonata structure, lied, dance form and rondo for the four movements and with traditional emphases on rhythmic development and key contrasts, but followed Franckian, so-called ‘cyclic’ techniques of melodic transformation, designed to unify the work as a whole. The first quartet is based around a four-note motif found in Mahler’s Symphony No 1, which d’Indy almost certainly would not have known, and as the Bell motif in the first act of Parsifal (which he certainly did know).
Composer: Vincent D'Indy, Ernest Chausson
Orchestra/Ensemble: Chilingirian String Quartet
Reviews: Ernest Chausson's work has become something of a subspecialty for the Chilingirian Quartet: they have recorded two other discs of his chamber works for Hyperion, both (rightfully) highly acclaimed. Of the two works presented here, the Chausson is a particular treat, in both style and substance. Unfortunately, it stands as Chausson's only venture into the genre, and an incomplete one at that: the composer died in 1899 in a strange bicycling accident. Vincent d'Indy completed the third movement, and his efforts seem both hasty and heavy-handed, unintentionally forming a sort of rebuke to the elegance and subtlety that characterizes Chausson's own work. In contrast, D'Indy's first quartet is certainly a finely crafted vehicle, but one in which technical correctness stultifies emotional outpouring.
Still, the Chilingirians' characteristic flair and finesse make for compelling listening. In performing French repertoire from this era, many artists enjoy blurring the contours of the individual musical voices, creating a wash of colors and sonority theoretically meant to highlight the work's "Gallic" qualities (even if, as is the case here, a given composition happens to predate Impressionism). Commendably, the Chilingirians etch each line with stunning clarity, yet they never lose sight of the larger formal picture. The recording's sound is rich and warm, a fine complement to the group's artistic vision.
