When Quatuor Ébène performed at Carnegie Hall in 2022, critics described it as hard to imagine "string quartet playing at once more diverse and more brilliant than this … the possibilities of a string quartet were shown to be boundless" (Bachtrack). They return with a late Mozart string quartet written for the king of Prussia—a cellist, as one can surmise upon listening; the third and most succinct of Bartók's six essential, game-changing quartets; and Grieg's sole complete work for the genre, a richly textured journey that comprises the second half of the program.
