 Freyr, Hlíf, Martin and Þórdís Gerður |
Mozart's Flute Quartets Freyr Sigurjónsson flute, Hlíf Sigurjónsdóttir violin, Martin Frewer viola and Þórdís Gerður Jónsdóttir cello. All four of Mozart's Flute Quartets. The first three were composed 1777−78 while in Mannheim and the fourth one a decade later. The Mannheim quartets were commissioned by a rich amateur player. They all count as examples of refined chamber music conceived for skilled amateur players and domestic consumption. While hardly as complex a showcase of Mozart's compositional skills as many of his string quartets, all four quartets abounding in gentle wit and good humour, and written not as mini-concertos for flute and string trio but as chamber music for equal partners. |
