The one hundred and thirty-sixth classical recording: #489 Claude Debussy - String Quartet
One of the advantages of jumping around a list like this is the differences you can spot, even if you can't see how they build to those moments. There's a lot of complexity in this string quartet and it feels like it has been refined into a sound that requires active listening and a bit more engagement to listen to and understandThey both have their place and moment, and today the sophistication is one I can take where often older pieces are there more for the energy and presence, which this lacks sometimes. It's still a lovely piece and, from what I understand, one on the road of an ongoing shift in the music.
