Programme Note
The acclaimed Cheltenham-based Carducci Quartet open our season with a programme of three completely different sound worlds. We are delighted they are starting the concert with Mozart: his quartets have featured rarely in our programmes and we have not had ‘The Hunt’ for many years. They follow with the emotional roller-coaster of the youthful quartet by Ravel. The Carducci are renowned for their interpretation of the Shostakovich quartets, and the evening ends with his infrequently played second quartet, the weighty beginning of his mature quartet sequence.
