The relatively young Belcea String Quartet appears for the first time on the HFM series, Tuesday, April 8.  Last year, Michelle Dulak Thomson, the string player-turned reviewer from San Francisco, wrote: “It would be difficult to improve on the Belcea’s Mozart.  They are not an ordinary competition-circuit quartet. For one thing, they put much more thought and effort into articulation than they do into pouring out sound… Leader Corina Belcea … embodies the [tone] ... Her alert, zesty, occasionally impetuous style is the style of her three comrades-in-arms. And everything they do, they seem to do with one mind, not because of obsessive rehearsing but just because they all want the same thing.”
