Death of a great quartet violist
mainPeter Kamnitzer, viola player in the LaSalle Quartet, has died in Israel at the age of 93.
He co-founded the quartet at Juilliard in 1947 with fellow-refugees and played in it throughout the world until its disbandment in 1987.
The LaSalle’s earned renown on Deutsche Grammophon as specialists in 20th century modernism, especially the Second Viennese School.
