The Van Kuijk Quartet play Debussy

The Van Kuijk Quartet play Debussy's String Quartet, a masterpiece of economy and impressionistic colour.

New Generation Artists: Debussy's Quartet, performed here by former New Generation Artists, the Van Kuijk Quartet. Debussy's early work is a masterpiece of economy, by turns sensual and impressionistic. Chamber music would never be the same again and the quartet is rightly considered a cornerstone of the repertoire.
