Jeremy Eichler reviews the Tokyo String Quartet

TQt

Tokyo String Quartet

Jeremy Eichler reviewed last Saturday evening's performance at Jordan Hall of the Tokyo String Quartet for today's Boston Globe:

"With every personnel change, a quartet dies and is reborn under the
same name. In this case, the sheer intensity and excitement that the
Oundjian-era super group used to project is irretrievably gone. But
this current configuration has charms of its own, and it has finally
achieved an important degree of continuity with the earlier sound. Yes,
we're a different foursome, Saturday's recital seemed to say, but we're
still the Tokyo String Quartet."
