A great review
A great review:
Washington DC: Kennedy Center
“Put together a list of the world’s most enduring string quartets, and the Fine Arts Quartet — a powerhouse of American chamber music for more than six decades — will rank very near the top. That’s due to the group’s incisive powers of interpretation and a taste for off-the-beaten-path repertoire, both of which were in evidence…Tuesday night, when the quartet appeared at the Kennedy Center…The Fine Arts Players turned in a superb and absolutely impassioned performance — a seamless and astute reading from its slashing opening chords to its galloping, heart-racing finale.”
(Stephen Brookes, Washington Post, December 13, 2012) Full review

The Fine Arts Quartet, with brilliant Brazilian pianist Cristina Ortiz, recorded three magnificent chamber works by the French master Camille Saint-Saëns: the Piano Quintet, Op.14, Piano Quartet, Op.41, and the rarely performed Barcarolle, Op.108 in the composer’s piano quartet version. This is the Quartet’s first recording with its eminent new cellist, Robert Cohen.
