A toe-tapping performance from the Danish Quartet

Crisp programming from Amsterdam's Muziekgebouw as a four year Doppelgänger project pairing late Schubert with contemporary works enjoys a strong start.

Overall, the performance kept a wonderful equilibrium between color and structure, humor and tragic sentiment, self-confidence and doubt.

The Danish String Quartet provide a thoughtful Haydn, a compelling Beethoven and a Nielsen which shows them at their best. 

Sometimes music is a more effective transporter than the London Underground. This was certainly the case this Tuesday, when closures on the Piccadilly line resulted in me cycling at breakneck speed half-way across London to hear the Danish String Quartet playing in what I imagined to be a regular, run-of-the-mill, wear-what-you-like-as-long-as-it’s-corduroy concert at the Cadogan Hall.

Das Danish String Quartet spannte den Bogen von Haydn bis Caroline Shaw und zeigte eine schiere Freude am Dasein.

Le Danish String Quartet a conquis le public du Club musical de Québec, avec un programme mettant autant en valeur des jalons du répertoire classique qu'un florilège de mélodies du folklore scandinave.
