Bartk
Quartet No. 1
could tell that the group were falling out of tune with one another, leading to a lengthy
retuning session prior to the performance of the Bartk. While each individual member of the
quartet played Bartks first quartet with style, at times it felt like they were trying to out-play
one another, particularly in the more jovial sections of the third movement.
Imperfections aside, the concert was an enjoyable start to the Bartk Project series, and I look
forward to attending further performances from the Contempo Quartet.
