Tetzlaff Quartet
HAYDN String Quartet in G minor, Op. 20, No. 3
BERG String Quartet, Op. 3
BRAHMS String Quartet in A minor, Op. 51, No. 2
The outstanding Tetzlaff Quartet, praised for lyrical, detailed readings of a wide range of repertoire, visits from its home base of Germany for a program of masterpieces by Haydn, Webern, and Brahms.
In this rare US visit, the quartet performs Haydn's witty, surprising G minor quartet from Op. 20, Brahms' turbulent and dramatic A minor quartet from Op. 51, and Berg's vigorous and richly expressive first string quartet.
The Tetzlaff, which returns after a gripping recital of late Beethoven quartets for Cal Performances at Home last fall, released a recording of those works late last year, to rave reviews: "Most impressive is the Quartet's exhaustive commitment to these works' quirkiness and heterogeneity...the ensemble approaches these masterpieces with an arresting rawness--a willingness to color outside the lines--yielding vividly multidimensional readings that demand an immediate second listen" (The Classical Post).
