Overview
Quatuor Danel begins its eleven-concert, two-season survey of the Polish-Jewish-Russian composer Mieczyslaw Weinberg’s string quartets, presenting the oeuvre alongside works by Weinberg’s contemporary Shostakovich.
Specialists in Russian repertoire, the French quartet has brought particular dedication to its performances of the string quartets of tonight’s composers, all of which it has recorded; here it performs three early scores by the pair, Weinberg’s dating from 1937 (revised 1985) and 1940 respectively.
This concert is part of the CAVATINA Chamber Music Trust ticket scheme, offering free tickets to those aged 8-25
