Poland's Apollon Musagète Quartet opens each half of this program with posthumously published Schubert compositions—one of them composed by a teenage Schubert, and the other the first movement of a never-to-be-finished string quartet—reminding modern listeners of our good fortune to hear the composer's brief, prolific output performed so capably today. Dvořák's 10th string quartet, familiarly known as his "Slavonic" quartet, deftly combines the composer's classical style with the Bohemian folk and dance elements that helped catapult him to fame. The program closes with a powerful and exceedingly popular Shostakovich quartet.
