Schubert String Quartet No.12 in C minor, ‘Quartettsatz’, D.703
Janáček String Quartet No.1 'Kreutzer Sonata’
Mendelssohn String Quartet No.6 in F minor, Op.80
Praised for its rich sonority and the searing emotional intensity of its performances, the Arcadia Quartet from Romania returns to Lakeside for a concert of profoundly moving music. Janáček’s ‘Kreutzer Sonata’ mirrors the passion, conflict and drama of Tolstoy’s novella. Grief-stricken from his sister’s sudden death in 1847, Mendelssohn’s virtuosic final string quartet is imbued with anguish, relieved by the lyrical tenderness of the Adagio.
