Arod Quartet & Danel Quartet: Mendelssohn Octet
Southbank Centre, Queen Elizabeth Hall, SE1 8XX , [Venue Details]Four plus four is not just eight: two string quartets join forces to become more than the sum of their parts in three octets full of youthful joy.
The Danel Quartet, this season celebrating its 35th anniversary, blends with the award-winning Arod Quartet in a meeting of minds and instruments.
Together they present string octets by three very different composers.
They open with Shostakovich’s Prelude and Scherzo, Op.11, where the young composer offsets a soulful opening with a virtuosic counterbalance.
Next comes Mendelssohn’s Octet, one of his best-loved works. Written when he was only 16, it positively fizzes with energy and joy.
Finally there is a chance to hear the ambitious Octet by Enescu, again written, incredibly, when the composer was in his teens.
Repertoire
- Shostakovich: 2 Pieces (Prelude & Scherzo) for octet, Op.11
- Mendelssohn: Octet in E flat, Op.20
Interval
- Enescu: Octet in C, Op.7
