These are fiery, full-Technicolor performances of the two great Janáček quartets – Nos 1 and 2 – with which the rising Doric String Quartet make a mark in a crowded field. Their interpretation of Quartet No 1 is especially effective, turning this concise work into an unsparingly dramatic journey: starting almost hesitantly, it has, by the end, reached a pitch of absolute abandon. Everything between is writ large – the swinging violin figures that scythe through early in the first movement, and the explosions of white noise that disrupt the simple melody of the third. The nothingness into which it finally subsides could well be physical as well as emotional exhaustion. In both works, there are also moments of unusual beauty. Martinů’s brief but dense Quartet No 3 was written the year after Janáček’s No 2, and this 13-minute work is another rollercoaster. The Dorics’ energy flows unfettered between moods and styles, and if details occasionally get skated over, the sense of exhilaration is undimmed.
