Their tone is full and sonorous. Their performance was excellent, authoritative and affectionate. The players emerged for their solos and melted back into the texture smoothly and naturally.
The Bergonzi String Quartet gave this long and complex piece a splendid performance. Technically secure, emotionally involved, they brought out the character of each movement
as well as the textural and idiomatic contrasts between them, and generated a sense of cameraderie and enjoyment that sent sparks across the footlights.
