Concerts for Craswall - International Piano Quartet
Mahler Piano Quartet in A minor
Fauré Piano Quartet No.1 in C minor, Op.15
Brahms Piano Quartet No.1 in G minor, Op.25
Acclaimed leader of the London Symphony Orchestra Roman Simovic (violin), Milena Simovic principal viola the Ulster Orchestra, David Cohen principal cello the London Symphony Orchestra, and celebrated Chinese pianist Wu Qian (founder member of the Sitkovetsky Piano Trio), perform two of the most famous piano quartets in the repertoire, Brahms Piano Quartet No.1 in G minor, and Fauré’s Quartet No 1 in C minor.
Best known for its rousing finale, the famous Rondo alla zingarese (Gypsy Rondo) Brahms’ G minor Piano Quartet is one of his earliest great works in the medium. It is paired here with the beauty and passion of Fauré’s Piano Quartet in C minor.
Alongside is a rarely heard curiosity – Mahler’s contemplative Piano Quartet No 1 movement, the tantalising torso of a work never completed.
