Hearing A String Quartet In Utter Darkness

“The occasion was the West Coast premiere by the JACK Quartet of Georg Friedrich Haas’ third string quartet, “In iij. Noct. The title is taken from a section of the ‘Tenebrae’ by the mad Italian Renaissance composer Carlo Gesualdo. … Haas calls for his score, which was written 2001, to be played blind. … And it was good. Mind-blowingly good.”
