Overview
The Heath Quartet’s seasonlongsurvey of Jörg Widmann’sfive string quartets continues,placing the German composer’s‘Jagdquartett’ in company withtwo works marked by their intenseconcentration and foreboding.
Widmann’s work echoes theopening rhythms of Beethoven’sSeventh Symphony beforepursuing its ideas with obsessiveenergy and wanton violence.
