Event in the Tech Performing Arts Series. By DAVID ZAPOL TH E EMERSON QUARTET - violin- ists Philip Setzer and Eugene Drucker, -violist Lawrence Dut- ton, and cellist David Finckel - have risen to prominence over the past 15 years, recently receiving the Grammy Award -for best classical record of lI90 and Gramophone Magazine's record-of- the-year award for their recording of the complete Bartok String Quartets. The I -quartet has a teaching and performance residency at the Hartt School of Music at the University of Hartford. Friday's concert at Jordan Hall opened with a rather weak, performance of Haydn's Quartet in E-flat Major. The per- formance lacked the jovial mood expected of the work: The performers seemed to be overly concerned with giving a perfor- mance in the "style of Haydn" and, as a I result, the piece sounded restrained. The I third movement, perhaps the most humor- ous movement of the quartet, was played seriously with only interjected spurts of random humor, approximating dirty jokes at a cocktail party. Mozart's A-Major Quartet was some- i what more lively, but still lacked the excitement expected from a world-class quartet. The group played as though it had a deadline to meet: They ran through the piece with seemingly little connection to the music, one another, or the audience. Their performance gave little hint of what was to come. After intermission, .Drucker, who had played second vinolin for the Haydn and Mozart pieces, took over as first violin, The EmersonI String Quartet. showed his skill as a leader. its ideas, energy, and emotion without way they flailed their bows, the way they tet that Mozart left unfinished - the and quickly The Bartok's Quartet No. I was tremendous. concerning themselves with traditional closed their eyes and played without reser- "end" of the piece comes mid-phrase. and Mozart's truncated From the first note, it was clear that the interpretations.
