Cpo’s discovery of Pleyel’s String Quartets continues with his Prussian Quartets Nos. 4-6 performed by the Pleyel Quartet of Cologne. Pleyel’s appealing artistic writing style, his feel for drama, and the soloistic demands placed on each and every quartet member earned his string quartets by far the highest performance figures in London during 1785-1800.
