3PM SUNDAY MAY 4
DEATH & THE MAIDEN The extraordinary string quartet no 14 in D minor by Schubert is possibly the most important and most loved string quartet in history. It’s paired with French composer Lili Boulanger’s exquisite D’un soir triste and D’un matin de printemps for Piano Trio. |
3PM SUNDAY JUNE 15
BRAHMS & BOSMANS The Brahms clarinet quintet is profoundly beautiful, sad and sweet all at once. In the hands of Paul Dean and Ensemble Q the work shines to perfection. Paired with a masterpiece of texture and lyrical intensity by Dutch composer Henriette Bosmans, her 1927 string quartet. |
3PM SUNDAY SEPT 7
MOZART, BEETHOVEN & CLARKE Beethoven String Trio Opus 9 No 3 was one of Beethoven’s own favourite compositions and the foundation for his many quartets. Rebecca Clarke shines a light on the talents of our Germany based violist, Benjamin Roskams and Alison Mitchell creates musical gold with a Mozart flute quartet. |
3PM SUNDAY OCT 26
PIANO QUINTETS The series finishes with the universally loved Schumann Piano Quintet in E flat major Op 44 and the exquisitely lyrical Piano Quintet No 1 in A minor Op 30 by French composer Louise Farrenc, which adds a new soundworld by replacing the 2nd violin with double bass. |
