Programmes

English String Quartet

  • Mozart (1756-1791): Piano Quartet in G minor, K478 (1785)
  • Turina (1882-1949): Piano Quartet in A minor, Op.67
  • Schumann (1810-1856): Piano Quintet in E flat major, Op.44 (1842)
    Combining melodic and rhythmical material from Spanish folk music and instrumental colour and formal elements absorbed in Paris, Turina has given us an elegant and quite unique chamber work.
