Bartok Piece 'Unique' By Hungarian Quartet
Opening their concert with Schubert's "Quartet in A Minor, Op. 29," the four members of the Hungarian String Quartet quickly revealed the skillful blending of two violins, a viola and a cello plus the precision and technique that has brought them such reknown.
The first strains of the Schubert' number were faint and muted, building throughout the four movements into more intense, vibrant tones.
Likewise, the "Quartet in F Major, Op. 135" by Beethoven revealed the careful training and musicianship of the four Hungarian-born artists.
But the unique number of the concert was the "Quartet No. 6" by their countryman, Bela Bartok. Although this number could not be described as beautifully melodious, or harmonious, it was a delightfully different piece.
Plucking individual strings, sliding bows and fingers down the strings, and executing technically difficult passages with a trace of a smile, the four musicians uncovered the wierd dissonant tones of Bartok's music with ease. One could not help but think that this was undoubtedly one of their favorite quartet numbers.
