Brodsky Quartet
Krysia Osostowicz and Ian Belton, vioins; Paul Cassidy, viola; Jaqueline Thomas, cello
Programme:
Karen Tanaka - At the Grave of Beethoven
Antonin Dvorak – Quartet in F, “American”
Bela Bartok – Quartet no. 6
Staying in Spillville, Iowa in 1893, Dvorak wrote this joyous work in just 12 days, combining elements of Native American and Spiritual music with the folk idioms of his Czech homeland.
Japanese-American composer Karen Tanaka honours Beethoven while commemorating the victims of the Kosovo War of 2014.
Bartok’s final quartet, written on the eve of WW2, expresses the suffering of war and the pain of exile in a searing and lyrical masterpiece.
