This wrap of shows around Melbourne includes Mary Finsterer’s Biographica, a performance by Vision String Quartet and Celebrity at La Mama.
A solitary seat onstage signalled that this was to be no ordinary string quartet concert. The four young men from Berlin who form Vision Quartet play entirely from memory, with only the cellist seated. Freed from music stands and seats, their physical flexibility is mirrored by their extraordinarily intense focus on the music.Such focus was immediately apparent in Bloch’s Prelude, B.
Dvorak’s String Quartet No. 13 benefitted from the quartet’s strong grasp of its musical architecture, the first movement’s rhetorical flourishes and shifting tonalities empowered with shape and purpose. The plaintive slow movement focused on the empathetic playing of Willeitner and second violinist Daniel Stoll. Gypsy elements in the final movements came to life amid softer, lyrical diversions, all delivered with enormous verve and infectious good humour.
