Edinburgh in Winter (1/4)
The Brodsky Quartet perform Elgar’s Violin Sonata and String Quartet, written together in 1919 and which resonate with shared musical ideas.
The Brodsky Quartet present a programme of Elgar’s works to the Edinburgh New Town Concert audience, which were written during a creative retreat to the West Sussex countryside in 1919. The violin sonata (played by quartet first violin Gina McCormack and pianist Martin Roscoe) and the quartet are both written in E minor, the key of his famous Cello Concerto, which was also written at this time. They share many similarities in musical ideas and characterisation.
