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
