The Parker Quartet plays Ravel
Critics were divided over Maurice Ravel's string quartet when it premiered. Some hated it. One critic said it had "about as much emotional nuance as an algebra problem." But Claude Debussy wrote to Ravel saying: "In the name of all the gods of music, and for my sake, don't change a note of what you have written." Luckily, Ravel listened to Debussy, and didn't change a thing. In today's show, PT's artists-in-residence, the Parker Quartet, plays Ravel's controversial masterpiece.
