Rhythmic Drive Feature of Performance by McDermott Quartet

The Canberra Chamber Music Society’s second concert of the year featured the McDermott Quartet delivering a friendly, well balanced program. Mozart’s Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, Rasoumovsky’s Third Quartet in C major, Debussy’s Quartet in G minor, and Beethoven’s quartet were played with distinct voices. Glassford’s mellower second violin contrasted with McDermott’s brighter reading, yielding a concentrated, rhythmic performance though some clarity in the last fugue could have improved the finale. The critics praise Debussy for its intimate language and modal charm while noting Beethoven’s broader horizons and the group’s overall expressive individuality.
