Frith Piano Quartet, with John Tattersdill (double bass)
Part of the Richmondshire Concerts 2017 -2018 Season
Add to my Calendar 21-01-2017 19:30 21-01-2017 21:30 36 Frith Piano Quartet, with John Tattersdill (double bass) We haven't had a visit from the full Frith Quartet since 2009, and it's good to welcome them back. This time the group is accompanied by John Tattersdill (double-bassist for the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra). In Schubert's Trout the unusual instrumentation brings an added richness to this sunny, attractive work, and allows the cello to be more playful than is usual. Vaughan Williams chose the same un-familiar lineup for his own Brahmsian Piano Quintet. In between the two quintets is Mozart's K478, widely held to be the first major piano quartet in the chamber music repertoire, and considered exceptionally difficult when it was published. Fortunately that shouldn't be a problem for tonight's pianist, the excellent Benjamin Frith. Influence Church, Richmond DD/MM/YYYYDetails
