Fourth Kenisel Quartet concert at Association Hall review
The fourth Kenisel Quartet concert at Association Hall featured Mozart D minor quartet, Beethoven in F major op. 9, and Svendsen octet in A major op. 3 with Krafft Zach Theodorowicz and Keller. Mozart was flawless and well received. Beethoven impressed yet drew less praise. Svendsen’s early Norwegian work showed strong string writing and invention, though final movement was less convincing. overall the performance was excellent and deserves more exposure. The fifth concert is set for Monday evening January 3.
