Quartetto Gelato Review
This was the debut recording of a Canadian group that plays chamber music with an unusual attitude. The repertoire ranges from a J.C. Bach Oboe Quartet to "Danny Boy" and "O Sole Mio." They play a variety of instruments, and violin/mandolin player Peter De Sotto also sings in a beautiful light tenor. While this may not be a disc for purists, the performances are as fine as anything you might hear from more serious ensembles. Sometimes I'm just not in the mood for late Beethoven, and when I want musical desserts, the "Ice Cream Quartet" suits me just fine. --Leslie Gerber Read more...
