Review by Caa Dugongs

Album Review: Quatuor En Sol Mineur / Quatuor En Fa Majeur by Debussy & Ravel (LaSalle Quartet) Alright, so I’ve been diving into this Deutsche Grammophon release featuring the LaSalle Quartet playing two absolute gems of French classical music—Debussy’s String Quartet in G Minor and Ravel’s String Quartet in F Major. It’s got that modern-classical vibe but still feels timeless, like sipping espresso at a Parisian café while wearing your favorite worn-out leather jacket. The sound engineering by Klaus Scheibe is crisp as heck, too, which makes it feel like you’re sitting right there in the room with them. Let me tell ya, the first track that stuck with me was 1. Satz: Animé Et Très Décidé from Debussy's quartet. Right off the bat, it grabs you by the collar and says, "Hey, listen up!" There’s this restless energy to it, kinda like when you’re trying to finish writing something before coffee wears off. Walter Levin on violin just shreds through those runs, and Jack Kirstein on cello adds this warm undertone that keeps things grounded. You can hear how Debussy’s harmonies are all about pushing boundaries without losing their charm—it's edgy yet elegant, if that makes sense. Then there’s 4. Satz: Vif Et Agité from Ravel’s side of the album. Whoa, talk about an adrenaline rush! This movement has these wild rhythmic shifts that keep you on edge. Peter Kamnitzer on viola really shines here; his tone cuts through like a sharp knife slicing butter. It’s chaotic in the best way possible, almost like dancing wildly in an empty apartment late at night. By the end, you're left breathless, wondering what just hit you. Honestly, it’s one of those tracks where you don’t even realize how loud you've turned up the volume until the neighbors start complaining. What I love most about this record is how both composers manage to balance beauty with unpredictability. Sure, they stick to traditional string quartet structures, but every now and then, they throw in these little surprises—a sudden key change, a weird dissonance—that remind you why classical music isn’t just for old libraries or fancy dinner parties. And props to Karl Faust for producing something that sounds fresh even decades later. By the way, fun fact: did anyone else notice how much passion oozes out of these performances? Like, seriously, it’s hard not to imagine the players sweating bullets during some of the more intense parts. These guys weren’t just phoning it in—they were living it. Anyway, wrapping this up, listening to this album feels like stepping into another world. One minute you’re chilling on your couch scrolling through memes, and the next, you’re transported to some smoky 1920s jazz club mixed with a sunlit Parisian garden. Weird combo, I know—but hey, isn’t that what great art does? Makes you think outside the box? Unexpected thought: If Debussy and Ravel had smartphones, would they have used TikTok? Just saying…

About Debussy Ravel Quatuor LaSalle

Born: August 22, 1862 (Saint-Germain-en-Laye, France). Died: March 25, 1918 (Paris, France). Claude Debussy was a French composer. He is sometimes seen as the first Impressionist composer, although he vigorously rejected the term. He was among the most influential composers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Debussy's music frees itself of the academicism of the late nineteenth century (in particular that of the Austro / German School) to offer new perspectives and dimensions to twentieth century music. Through the use of pentatonic scales, of the whole tone scale, he returns to the ambiguity of modal systems and accomplishes a revolution of traditional harmony, different from the Wagnerian revolution. Debussy's music frees itself from the tyranny of the bar, which with its periodic accents forces the rhythm to a pre-ordered repetitions; as a consequence of these metric-harmonic innovations the classical forms are abandoned.
