Beginning with rapturous violin/piano playing in Gershwin’s Preludes, the concert continues with a real tour de force – the Jerusalem’s playing Bartok’s most virtuosic quartet with its rigorous opening repeated-note motive, a Bulgarian folk dance in 10/8 and much “night-music.” Schubert’s heart-rending String Quintet, written shortly before his death and on many people’s desert island wish list will be a festival highlight.
