Review by Ranjeet Singh

The album Quatuors à Cordes N 16 2 7 13 by Darius Milhaud Quatuor Parisii is a brilliant collection of string quartets that showcases the composer's unique style and inventive approach to composition. The quartet's performance is flawless, with each member contributing their individual talents to create a cohesive and dynamic sound.

The first quartet, No. 16, is a lively and energetic piece that showcases Milhaud's use of syncopated rhythms and unexpected harmonies. The second quartet, No. 2, is a more contemplative work that explores the use of extended techniques and unconventional harmonies. The third quartet, No. 7, is a playful and whimsical piece that features a wide range of musical styles and influences. Finally, the fourth quartet, No. 13, is a hauntingly beautiful work that showcases Milhaud's mastery of melody and harmony.
