Programme Note
“The accomplished Primrose Piano Quartet – which includes highly acclaimed chamber musicians – plays together with an ease and kinship that belies the difficulty of the music. The musicians’ polished rapport and musical understanding and communication is excellent.” – MusicWeb International
Much-loved Conway Hall regulars, the Primrose Piano Quartet close our Spring Season of concerts with a richly imaginative programme. Mozart’s dramatic G minor Quartet opens the concert, followed by a fascinating set of Variations on an Air by Robert Burns by four leading British composers, commissioned by the PPQ: John Casken, Sally Beamish, Jacques Cohen and Steve Goss. Purcell’s exquisite Fantasias for string trio provide a reflective interlude before Fauré’s passionate C minor Quartet brings the evening to a luminous and deeply moving close.
