Reviews

Incredibly fresh, passionate and with moments for all time, the US quartet presented an evening that will be long remembered, beginning with Dvořák and Schubert. After the intermission, those works were overshadowed by Schubert’s brilliant late G major quartet. 50 minutes of music from another world, the harshest contrast of sweet pain, the hottest longing and the darkest rebellion. A rollercoaster of emotions through the ups and downs of human existence. The Juilliards had a searing intensity and existential immediacy coupled with spirit of chamber music. That’s how Schubert is meant to be.
