PROVING their ability to work across chamber music platforms, The Australian Haydn Ensemble (AHE) as a string quartet showed just how good they are in any form.
The players in AHE were Skye McIntosh, violin, Matthew Greco, violin, Karina Schmitz, viola, Daniel Yeadon, cello.
The longer I live, and the more music I hear, I become further convinced that the string quartet offers the greatest musical experience.
AHE began with the lively and complex “String Quartet in G Minor, Ben. 339″ by Ignaz Joseph Pleyel. This had a fine tune running through the first movement. Listening to this while sitting in the gallery above the main audience, the music seemed to be directly pointed at me, making this a more intimate and powerful experience.
