Programme Note

The works in this programme fully complement the artistry, musicianship and temperament of the Belcea Quartet.

The first half opens with the extrovert brilliance of Mozart’s third ‘Prussian’ Quartet before moving to Brahms’s tightly structured String Quartet in C minor Op. 51 No. 1. Berg’s impassioned Lyric Suite, written in response to the composer’s extramarital affair with Hanna Fuchs, was aptly described by his former pupil Theodor W. Adorno as ‘a latent opera’.
