Jerusalem Quartet Plays the Stradivari of the Royal Palace of Madrid

The Jerusalem Quartet and Sir András Schiff make a great case for Weinberg at Wigmore Hall. 

The Jerusalem Quartet offered a compelling rendition of works by Mozart, Bartók, and Schumann in the University of Chicago's Mandel Hall.

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.

On Thursday 15 March, the Jerusalem String Quartet strode onto the stage of Richardson Auditorium all wearing the same smart suits. The four young players played a pleasant program of early string quartets by Beethoven, Debussy, and Brahms.

Zum runden Gedenkjahr gastiert das berühmte israelische Quartett auch in der Tonhalle Zürich. Und es überrascht mit einer neuen Zusammensetzung.
