Globe reviews Guarneri and Johannes Quartets

Globe Correspondent Matthew Guerrieri reviewed Friday evening's performance by the Guarneri and Johannes String Quartets for Monday's paper. It's another typically enjoyable read from Guerrieri:



"The excellent performances highlighted each group's tonal approach: If the Johannes's chromium-steel clarity was like a deep-focus photograph, the Guarneri opted for painted brush strokes, softer-edged, smoothing sonic contrasts with a warm varnish."



Read all of string quartets showcase power and polish.
