ALBUM

French composer Hyacinthe Jadin is best known for his spacious piano sonatas and for music related to the era of the French Revolution, through which he lived only to succumb to tuberculosis at the age of 24. His piano music is decidedly proto-Romantic, and the annotations for this Canadian release promise more of the same for this group of string quartets, composed in 1795. That proto-Romantic element is hard to identify except perhaps in the unusual minuet and polonaise movements of the String quartet in F minor (tracks 10 and 12). Instead, in a group of quartets dedicated to Haydn (who apparently never learned of the honor), you get exactly what you might expect: essentially student works that show an impressive mastery of Haydn's style and a commitment to international traditions at a time when the Reign of Terror was reaching its peak in the streets outside. The opening movements are good enough to make someone who didn't know all the Haydn quartets wonder whether he or she might be hearing one of them. Jadin masters not only Haydn's characteristic way of spinning out a movement from a single motive, but also many of the turns of tension and humor he could extract from this technique. Montreal's Quatuor Franz Joseph, performing on period instruments, doesn't quite capture the humor and is not aided by the icy acoustic of a suburban Montreal church (would either of these composers have written string quartets for church performance?). The album nevertheless offers a look at an important but neglected French prodigy.
