Mellits: String Quartets Nos. 3, 4 & 5

Quatuor Debussy triumphs again, this time premiering three quartets by contemporary composer Marc Mellits. They roar through his aggressive rhythms with ease and awe, keeping the spotlight on these works’ effervescent, mercurial harmonies and allusive moods. Poignant and challenging, this music rewards those who abandon themselves to it.
