CloseShostakovich – Quartet No. 1 in C major Op.49
Schubert – Quartet in A minor D.804 Rosamunde
Dvorak – Double Bass Quintet in G major Opus 77
They say that string quartets are ‘the music of friends’ – so why not share the joy? Antonín Dvořák did exactly that when he invited a double bass to join in his Serenade Op.77, and the result is thirty minutes of Bohemian sunshine, pounding dance-tunes and melodies that you just can’t get out of your head.
Dmitri Shostakovich never wrote a more optimistic string quartet than his brilliant First. Schubert’s darkly romantic Rosamunde quartet, meanwhile, distils pain into ravishing poetry. Well, what did you expect from the greatest songwriter of all time?
