Wigmore Hall, London
This was a memorable performance. Who cares if it did not probe Schubert’s darker side? Up on the Wigmore Hall’s platform an uproarious performance of this perennial delight was taking place, among friends. Their glee was infectious.

In very few years, the Belcea Quartet has grown from a live-wire young ensemble into one of the most mature quartets around. Their sound is mellow and warm, there is no sense of the leader over-dominating (the downfall of many quartets), and their unanimity is astounding.
