Pacifica Quartet with Pianist Menahem Pressler

Featured in this program is 91-year-old Menahem Pressler, who continues to perform to great critical acclaim while maintaining an active teaching career. Youth and maturity meet in this program featuring a quartet written by then-63-year-old Leo? Janácek while embroiled in a doomed love affair with a woman 37 years his junior, to whom he sent 700 ?intimate letters.? "Menahem Pressler's joyous pianism is from another age and is a virtually forgotten sensibility. He is a national treasure." - Los Angeles Times
