Carnegie Hall: Brentano String Quartet
$54-$64
Béla Bartók — String Quartet No. 5, Sz. 102, BB 110
Fanny Mendelssohn Hensel — String Quartet in E-flat major
"An ensemble of exceptional insight" (The Telegraph) and the "talk of the chamber music community" (Kansas City Star), the Brentano String Quartet performs masterworks with reverence and, with an admirable balance of creativity and restraint, achieves the "marvelous feat of bringing novel qualities to standard repertoire" (Classical Source). In its return to Zankel Hall, the quartet performs a piece by Haydn, the "father of the string quartet"; Fanny Mendelssohn's wonderful, sole composition for string quartet; and an idiosyncratic Bartók quartet that demands attention.
