In 2020, the Piatti Quartet live-streamed a concert from Turner Sims’s empty auditorium to an online audience. Their performance included a revelatory performance of Dvorak’s American quartet. Join us tonight as we celebrate the opening of the new season with a stunning performance of this masterpiece, live and in person.
Like Dvořák‘s work, Charlotte Harding’s Iorsa is inspired by landscapes: the scenic glen on the Isle of Arran. Describing his autobiographical first quartet Smetana wrote: ‘I had no intention of composing a quartet according to a formula or according to the usual conception of the form. With me, the form of each composition is determined by the subject. Consequently, this quartet created its own form. I wanted to picture in tones the course of my life.’
The Piatti Quartet are on ferociously fine form. BBC Music Magazine
