 | | The way we see it, the string quartet is the best way to experience classical music today. |
 | | The compactness and versatility of the form, combined with the relative ease of getting a quartet performed, means that more than ever composers turn to it to explore and expand the music. |
 | | This year's edition raises the bar as the Endellion String Quartet, the Leipzig String Quartet, and Cuarteto Latinoamericano perform five concerts this weekend, featuring 20th-century staples (Bart—k's Quartet No. 2 and 6, Shostakovich's mighty Quartet No. 8), chamber pieces by famed iconoclasts (Schoenberg, Ives, Takemitsu), as well as works by Janacek, Britten, and others. |
