The Dudok Quartet’s gift is to hear Ligeti in Ligeti even when he couldn’t hear it in himself...The First Quartet is Tom and Jerry in black and white, the Second is their Technicolor reincarnation, but the Dudok give us remastered Ligeti, blacker and whiter than ever before.
16th August 2015
With so many excellent chamber ensembles around, the Dudok – named after a Dutch modernist architect – are keen to make a mark. This recital disc, linked by each of the composer’s Hungarian associations, reflects their refreshing nonconformity...The Dudoks have a lithe, lively sound and alert sense of structure and detail: a group to watch.
