The CD "Sirmen: 6 String Quartets" presents the complete set of six string quartets by Maddalena Laura Sirmen, a pioneering 18th-century composer and violinist who helped shape the early classical style. Performed by the Allegri String Quartet, one of Britain's most respected chamber ensembles, these quartets reveal Sirmen's elegant balance of lyricism and structural clarity. The recording highlights the expressive range of the works, from poised, courtly grace to more dramatic, harmonically adventurous moments, always keeping a transparent texture that lets each instrumental line speak clearly.
The Allegri String Quartet offers a reading that is both stylistically informed and emotionally engaging, with refined articulation, sensitive phrasing and a warm, blended tone. Their long experience with the classical and early classical repertoire allows them to bring out the conversational character of the music: themes are passed fluently between the instruments, inner voices are carefully shaped, and dynamic contrasts are finely graded rather than exaggerated. This makes the album particularly attractive for listeners interested in exploring lesser-known but high-quality repertoire from the classical era.
Brilliant Classics, the label behind this release, is known for making a wide range of classical music available at an affordable price, from core masterpieces to rare and rediscovered works. Their catalogue places special emphasis on complete editions, historically informed interpretations and unusual repertoire that is often underrepresented elsewhere. With this recording, Brilliant Classics continues its mission of broadening access to important but still relatively little-known composers, offering a well-produced CD that combines musical substance with strong value.
The Allegri String Quartet has long been regarded as one of the leading British string quartets, with a history of distinguished performances and recordings. Over the decades, they have built a reputation for their interpretations of both the classical canon and modern works, collaborating with composers and appearing in major concert halls and festivals. Their discography documents this breadth, and their work has contributed significantly to the appreciation of string quartet literature across different stylistic periods.
