The Bennewitz Quartet’s performance of Janáček’s String Quartet No. 1, "Kreutzer Sonata" was thrilling and dynamic. Inspired by Tolstoy’s novella on jealousy and infidelity, their interpretation captured the piece’s dramatic contrasts. From intense, fiery moments to lyrical, reflective passages, the quartet played with vibrant expression. Their chemistry was evident, and they masterfully conveyed the passionate and turbulent spirit of Janáček’s music from start to finish.
