The thematic recital is not so common in the supposedly abstract string quartet field as in others, but there are some fine examples, such as this one. The Navarra String Quartet's program is a bit tilted toward the Death side of the Love and Death title, with only the String Quartet No. 1 ("Kreutzer Sonata") of Janáček holding up the Love end. The movement from the Signs, Games & Messages of György Kurtág does not really fit either category, but it fits into Navarra's overall conception of the program, which is one of sharp contrasts. Along the way, there is the rarely heard Crisantemi (Chrysanthemums) of Puccini, which was composed as a memorial, The Janáček is unusually good, catching the thoroughly programmatic nature of that piece, stated to be "inspired by" the Tolstoy novella but actually reflecting it in some detail. The concluding String Quartet in D minor, D. 810 ("Death and the Maiden") of Schubert, is passionately performed and brings the threads together. A fine, exciting quartet program, just a bit too closely miked by Orchid Classics.
