The plot of The Italian in Algiers, like the plots of nine out of ten comic operas, is based on that good old formula, the ' eternal quadrangle'. (The ' triangle ' is strictly reserved for tragedies.) Mustafa, Bey of Algiers, is infatuated with a beautiful Italian captive, Isabella. He already has a wife, Elvira, and, being apparently non-polygamous, proposes to get rid of her by giving her to another Italian captive, Lindoro. As Lindoro and Isabella are lovers, and Elvira is devoted to her husband, Mustafa's bright idea is satisfactory to no one but himself.

In none of Bax's chamber music is so much dramatic force and power condensed as in this remarkable quartet, composed in 1922. It takes only eight minutes to play, and yet a depth of intense feeling is compressed that might easily have sufficed for a whole symphony. The opening is marked feroce, which provides a good clue to the mood of the music. The work makes no concessions to lyrical charm and, indeed, never relaxes from the vigour with which it opens. Nor does it allow for any weakness on the part of its performers : for each individual, and for all four as a team, it is exacting both as regards technique and interpretation.
