Work: String Quartet no. 2, Op.26

A recital featuring less familiar music by Ginastera, Turina and Broadstock (leavened only by the bankable Beethoven) provides the visiting Enso Quartet with the opportunity to demonstrate admirable musicianship in Sydney.

Caught completely unawares – hearing a group I wasn’t familiar with, and on a Monday evening at that – I ended up seeing the Artemis Quartet give the best performance of any kind that I’ve experienced in quite a while.
