Overview

The Doric String Quartet performs two evening recitals at Wigmore Hall of works by Franz Schubert. Both of tonight’s quartets derived their nicknames from themes borrowed from other Schubert works: the A minor quartet’s Andante references his incidental music for Helmina von Chézy's play Rosamunde, Fürstin von Zypern; and the D minor quartet’s second movement theme is drawn from the song Death and the Maiden.
