Four in One Quartet
OOD string quartets, says a recent issue of Time, are as rare in the U.S. as quadruplets. Recently, in Berkley, California, a mew one, the Paganini Quartet (so named becatise their ‘cello, viola, and two violins are Stradivarii once owned by Niccolo Paganini) played Beethoven and Debussy at a _ brisker tempo than usual. The San Francisco Chronicle’s critic, Alfred Frankenstein, wrote of it: "Perhaps never before has one heard a string quartet with so rich, mellow, and superbly polished a tone." The quartet’s patron is Mrs. William Andrews Clark, who engaged the Scot-tish-born violinist Henry Temianka and the Belgian ‘cellist Robert Maas, and then sent to Brussels for Robert Courte (viola), and Gustave Rosseels (violin). She bought the four Stradivarii from a/| New York dealer.
