    Never mind the Symphonie espagnole and Le roi d’Ys, Edouard Lalo is the last of the great unknowns in 19th-century French music. His mature instrumental works combine the wisdom drawn from his professional playing experience with the familiar flair for rhythm and colour. They are likely to transform any opinion you may hold: it isn’t often that the inspiration of Beethoven was so well digested in France. The first two trios don’t really count as mature, and although they contain fine things, especially in the scherzos, their characteristic soul, sweep and dash are often clumsily handled. With No. 3, form and feeling are as one, the first movement’s surges integral to its progress to a hushed end, while the slow movement builds a powerful span from a sustained melody. Between them comes the irresistible piece better known in Lalo’s later arrangement as a Scherzo for orchestra. These performances have the necessary robustness without stinting on delicacy. His Quartet is full of incident and drama where many composers are content with ‘development’. Again the Scherzo is a tour de force of syncopations and cross-rhythms. This music stands in relation to Franck much as Schumann does to Brahms, and the playing sounds understandably committed and vigorous. It is fascinatingly coupled. Even for Gounod and Ambroise Thomas, opera wasn’t everything. Thomas’s Quartet is lucid and melodically fertile, never putting a foot wrong, lacking only intensity and adventurousness. Gounod’s is another matter, elliptical and energetic, with Beethoven again in the background (particularly his Op. 95 Quartet) and episodes of Mireille-like charm woven in with a quietly purposeful air.

    Review by Robert Maycock, BBC Music Magazine

    This is one of the most interesting chamber programmes to come my way in many a month and the lustrous-sounding Netherlands-based Daniel Quartet do it full justice. The major find is Ambroise Thomas's engagingly tuneful E minor Quartet, a real period curiosity that employs a genuine melodic gift in the service of a confident fairly conventional structure. The pensive first movement is elegantly turned, with palpable echoes of Mendelssohn and Beethoven and a delightfully operatic second subject, the second movement anticipates Smetana-style modulations (at say, 0'44'') while the third includes some delightfully balletic pizzicato writing (at, for example, 2'31'') and the finale could easily transform into a coloratura aria. Thomas composed the work at around the time that he won the Prix de Rome (1832), and its portfolio contemporaries also include a quintet, a piano trio, piano pieces and a Requiem—all of them works that could also benefit from an occasional airing.
    Gounod's talent for instrumental composition is far better known than Thomas's, and his A minor Quartet displays a more obvious indebtedness to Beethoven, not only in mood but in the gritty manner of its musical arguments. The score's most memorable movement is placed second, a Brahmsian-sounding Allegretto quasi moderato that could easily serve as an encore in its own right. However, the programme's strongest component is the E flat Quartet by Lalo, with its typically dextrous rhythmic writing and an immediate melodic appeal that should win the work many friends: try either the work's very opening or its cleverly ambiguous, vaguely Spanish-sounding Vivace, both of which provide excellent sampling points.
    The Daniel Quartet, which was formed in 1974, originally hailed from Israel but is now resident in The Netherlands. It's a group with a future, of that I'm sure—certainly on the evidence of this showing, which reveals a winsome tone (which very occasionally strays off the notes), admirable agility and impressive keenness of attack. The recordings, although pleasingly homogeneous tend to vary from work to work, but none is less than good and the programme as a whole represents both a breath of fresh air and a sure signal that there could (and indeed should) be more where this came from. Strongly recommended with the low price serving merely as an extra incentive.'
