For the curious music lover the string quartets by Ignaz Pleyel (1757-1831) have a special appeal because his music is written in a highly familiar style, but brand new and full of surprises: unexpected turns from major to minor, a sleek elegance of the melody etc.The beauty of Pleyel’s music is often revealed through its often fine-grained detail.In the first episode of the new series ‘Hidden Gems’, dedicated to the composer, the Ignaz Pleyel Quartett plays for the first time the 1792 published string quartets, Ben 359-361.
