association opened its twelfth season Sunday, November 19, with a recital' by the Philharmonic String quartet. The Kenilworthi Assembly hall was well filed with an enthusiastic audi- ence. The pr ogram consisted of Schubert's Quartet in E fiat,, Opus- 125, No. 1, followed by Gliere's Quar- tet No. 3, Opuis 67. With the opening -notes it was, ap- parent that here was a quartet of ex- cellent caliber. the blending of tbe instruments, their individual tone, and the sense of ensemble within tbe group brought out the musiciansbip of the four men. As to the Schubert quartet itself, it was typical of that ever Jyrical composer. The ,,irst movement was simple in form witb a filting melody weaving in and.out be- tween instruments. The second move-, ment,. the Scherzo, was a jest, rhyth- mnical and pizzicato. The Adagio movement sang with one of Schub-- ert's Iovely. meiodies, and the Qttrtet ended with a spirited Allegro. Whether it be the fault of the comý poser or the interpreters at times the artists seerned slightly out of balance witb 'an over emphasis on the first violin. After a brief pause came tbe Gliere Quartet. Completely new to me, this quar- tet was intensely exciting and at times very beautiful. Very different from the preceding Schubert, the first moveinent nroduced a n rh.ta 1 * novement was very Russian with a strange eerie melody and a back- ground of unusual and syncopated modulations. After a Larghetto* reminiscent of the quality of the first Inovement, tbe quartet.ended, stange- ]y enougb, with a Fuga-Allegro molto e ne rgetico. Here was battie and fury, each 'instrument figbting against the others. The tempo carried the move-, ment to an exciting climaxc and a burst of applause.
