...With their
founding in the 1993/1994 season and subsequent 1996 debut, the Israeli
musicians embarked on a journey of growth and development that has
resulted in a wide repertoire and a stunning depth of expression: a
journey still motivated by the energy and curiosity with which the
ensemble began. The Jerusalem Quartet carries on the string quartet
tradition in a unique manner. The ensemble has found its inner center in
a warm, full, human sound and the balance between high and low voices,
giving it the freedom both to refine its interpretations of the
classical repertoire and to explore the works of new genres and
epochs—all the while striving for perfection of sound. Collaborations
with exceptional musicians such as Martin Fröst, Steven Isserlis, Sharon
Kam, Elisabeth Leonskaja, Alexander Melnikov and András Schiff
demonstrate clearly the ways in which the musicians benefit from their
work, as each guest becomes an integral part of the indivisible
ensemble.
The Jerusalem Quartet explores two aspects of Dvořák’s chamber music:
one of the first big successes in
the genre of a Bohemian composer who
now enjoyed a well-established reputation in Europe (op.48), and one of
the masterpieces from the years of American exile which brought him
worldwide fame (op.97). A chance
to
discover two places, two periods, but always the same depth of
expression in this indefatigable composer endowed with remarkable
creative faculties.
