“Founded in 1946 and legendary as the quintessential American quartet, the Juilliard faced change last year when first violinist Joel Smirnoff left to become president of the Cleveland Institute of Music. The other members never entertained disbanding, as the famed Guarneri and Vermeer quartets have done in recent seasons. Instead the players chose Nick Eanet as only the third first chair in the group's stellar history... “At Saturday's concert, Eanet was an assured, engaging leader capable of meltingly lyrical playing... Throughout the program, including Beethoven's final string quartet, Op. 135, in F Major, elegance, nuance, structural intricacies (in the Beethoven) and a genuine interest in the interior emotional life of the music prevailed over blunderbuss bravado. The three veterans played as if their musical lives are blooming anew.”
