A full house in Melbourne last night was spellbound by the Borodin Quartet's performance at the Melbourne Recital Centre. The two Shostakovich works were by turn graceful, ironic and fiery while Borodin's String Quartet no 2 was performed with a contrasting warmth and lyricism. A rapturous audience was treated to an encore by Tchaikovsky, with the Quartet having to make three further curtain calls to satisfy the crowd.
Today the Quartet moved on to Canberra where they will perform tomorrow night. The Quartet is in Australia for another two weeks with concerts still to come in Perth, Brisbane, Newcastle, Sydney and Adelaide as well as another concert in Melbourne.
