The Jerusalem Quartet measured this cosmos on two evenings at the Salzburg Festival. On the second evening on Wednesday in the Great Hall of the Mozarteum, the even-numbered quartets were on the program, which could not be more different, but in their newly defined approach aim for one and the same thing: to be music of immense compositional density and spiritual penetration of the material, which but at the same time opens up unimagined emotional depths and leads the audience, and almost even more the musicians, into an extreme emotional roller coaster ride.
Depressive and bizarre
Fascinating, with what great concentration Alexander Pavlovsky, Sergei Bresler (violins), Ori Kam (viola) and Kyril Zlotnikov (violoncello) spread the sometimes deeply depressive sounds, but also in the sometimes bizarre form of the ghostly scurrying “Scherzi” the joke that but then it gets stuck in your throat. Nothing has been left to chance here, yet the passion for music has taken you on a voyage of discovery into the unknown.
