Marking
the third and final year of their current association with the festival,
the Consone Quartet and their special guests are presenting an outstanding
series of programmes. They complete their Robert Schumann cycle with the
first quartet, a piece that was dedicated to the composer’s great friend
Mendelssohn, but which is irresistibly drawn towards regular references to
Beethoven’s late quartets. The Clarinet Quintet is one of Brahms’s last
works and is considered by many to be his most profound chamber
composition. An air of melancholy pervades, but the work is punctuated by
moments of wild frenzy,not least in the extraordinary ‘Bohemian’ outburst
in the slow movement.
POST CONCERT: Stay for a short informal Q&A
immediately after the concert.
