Brodsky Quartet - Newcastle International Chamber Music Society
Wolf Italian Serenade
Webern Langsamer Satz
Kornhold String Quartet no.2
Schubert String Quartet in D minor (‘Death and the Maiden’)
An evening of music from Vienna, with Wolf’s delightful morceau followed in stark contrast by Webern’s romantic slow movement and the colourful music of Erich Korngold, celebrated composer of opulent film scores. The Brodskys (“_not just a great group_”, in the words of one critic, “_but a phenomenon_”) end our season with one of the greatest string quartets ever written.
