USIC THE ROTH STRING QUARTET. Hungary has always bgen the land which produced gypsy strings with potent magic to charm the ear. It is out of Budapest that has come a string quartet which seems destined to add even brighter embroideries to the mantel which graced the Kneisels and is about to be transferred from the shoulders of the retiring Flonzaleys. ‘The Roth String Quartet won an ovation of appreciation in the first ap- pearance in the National Capital last night, when it presented Mozart, and later Schumann, in the Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge Foundation Audi- torium, in the Library of Congress. Between the two established masters of melody and style was wedged the British modernist, Frank Bridge, with his “Third Quartet,” a well constructed composition. This Roth String Quartet is an or- ganization of only three years’ growth, according to one of its members, yet the blending of tone in every kind of nuance, the almost imperceptible Jead- ership of the first violin, the sweeping poetry of rounded phrases and total lack of scraping or slightest deviation from key, come very close to absolute perfection. Such Mozart playing as was shown in the “Quartet in G” (dedi- cated to Josef Haydn) is superb, and rare, indeed. The members of this quartet are Feri Roth and Jeno Antal, violins; Ferenc Molnar (no relation to the fa- mous playwright), viola, and Albert van Doorn, violoncello. ‘The entire program was a dedication event and a representative Washington audience showed approval by pro- longed applause at its conclusion. Mr. Bridge's work, which was given its first American performance at the Pittsfield Festival last month, in the American debut of the Roth Quartet, is dedicated to Mrs. Frederick Cool- idge. Robert Schumann’s beautiful “Quartet in A Minor” was dedicated to a third fine musician, Felix Men- delssohn-Bartholdy. ‘This last quartet, with its always singing measures, was given a particu- larly fine interpretation of the clunc-‘ jcert course for the season. ing melody in the latter part of the last movement. It is a rarely heard work and was a happy choice for the finale of the program. The Roth Quartet returns to Europe soon to fill many engagements, but al- ready has an imposing schedule await- ing their return to the United Stad for a second, more lengthy tour next year, which it is to be hoped, will in- clude another Washington appearance. The quartet had its New York debut Saturday, and there, as well as in Pittsfield and the Capital, won instan- taneous approval and .m:rx-e::hatml;l.P MME. GALLI-CURCI HERE AGAIN.
