Given reports that an earlier instalment of this Jerusalem Quartet tour had been disrupted by protesters, it's pleasing to be able to write that there were no such disturbances here. It's a good thing too, because nothing should overshadow the exquisite music-making of this Israeli quartet, joined here by Russian pianist Alexander Melnikov. Melnikov and the quartet blended very well.
