Really? I hear the sweetness of the former, but not the Scandinavian's complexity. Instead, I hear a man who delighted in being a sponge and integrater (ok, not a word, but it should be). There is Debussy, Faure and even Smetana here, but always with a kind of British crispness overlaid. When he goes folk, he looks west across the Atlantic, not over his shoulder at the Slavs. That keeps the piece dreamy, but reformist. The G Major is a special kind of synthesis of compositional strengths and will stay with you for some time (the Adagio presages a significant theme in Shosti's 8th St Qt). The playing is critical here, since the pieces, often gently romantic, might easily go mushy without the interpreter's respect. Maggini does it right. And those liner notes mention a Cello Concerto written for the composer's wife. Back to the shopping cart we go; in for a nickel . . . ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ instant gratification *by J***A on Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2010* The quartets of Ernest Moeran are immensely likable pieces of music: melodic, flowing, substantial, quintessentially British in a twentieth century way. And of course the Maggini Quartet, who specialize in British repertory, do a wonderful job with this music. Still, the Maggini's have some stiff competition here: The Vanbrugh Quartet, whose idiomatic survey of the quartets on ASV has as its discmates Moeran's Fantasy Quartet and Piano Trio, fine chamber music that listeners will want to have: Moeran: Chamber Music. On the other hand the Maggini's Naxos disc includes Moeran's string trio. The question is, which disc to buy - the Vanbrugh on ASV or the Maggini on Naxos? The answer for me is both, despite the duplication in music. The Fantasy Quartet, Piano Trio and String trio are all well worth having and the only way to get them is to buy both discs. If one wants to plunk for only one disc, however, I would go with the Vanbrugh's on ASV which contains 20 more minutes of highly delectable music. If price is a consideration, then the Maggini is the way to go - Amazon resellers currently offer discs at less than $4, a great bargain.Highly recommended! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Winner *by J***K on Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2012* The Anglo-Irish composer E.J. Moeran deserves to be better known. He wrote very fine orchestral music and, as this disc attests, composed excellent chamber works as well. The String Quartet in E flat major sounds to me like a mix of Ravel and Vaughan Williams, and a delightful combination that is -- ethereal at times, folksy at others. It's a two-movement work discovered in his papers after his death, a piece presumably written very early in his career. Moeran was in his late twenties when he composed the String Quartet in A minor, a three-movement work that is more in the English string tradition of the time: Fewer occasional glimpses across the waters and more concentration on native folk music. The Trio is to me a relatively subdued piece, rather quiet and somber much of the time, at least until the last portion of the final movement, when things noticeably pick up. I confess that I grew less fond of it over repeated hearings than I did the quartets, but those two quartets are more than enough to sell me on this disc. I recommend it wholeheartedly. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/25872108-moeran-string-quartets-string-trio](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/25872108-moeran-string-quartets-string-trio) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-05-04*
