Reviews
The Juilliard String Quartet Comes to Berlin
Yet when you experience the quartet on stage, Fu’s energetic and expressive playing merges with the sound of his colleagues in a compellingly coherent way. The musicians say they felt this intuitive connection from their very first rehearsals. It was pure chemistry, Carr recounts—their voices had instantly made sense together. The spirit of the past continues to resonate into the present. “It’s about the principle behind the sound. The question of how you create it,” says Schween. Curiosity and energy, a sense of adventure, and gripping emotionality still guide their playing, and Fu adds that they are all united by a hunger to express something through their music.
