Schumann’s three string quartets are interpreted with passion, tremendous understanding and virtuosity by the Ysaÿe Quartet. These are spacious and radiant accounts, giving full rein to the romanticism of Schumann’s soul but also pointing up the pieces’ structural fascinations, the bizarre rhythmic quirks of the third quartet’s final movement, the tenderness and feverish intensity inherent in all three.
