Edinburgh in Winter (3/4)
The Armida Quartet perform Brahms's String Quartet No 3 in B flat and, with violist Pauline Sachse and cellist Eckart Runge, the sextet from Strauss's opera Capriccio.
Elizabeth Alker presents the Armida Quartet and friends, from the Queenβs Hall in Edinburgh.
Only three string quartets survive by the self-critical Brahms and we hear the third today. The work delighted Brahmsβs close friend Clara Schumann and Brahms himself described the third movement as βthe tenderest and most impassioned I have ever writtenβ. To open the recital, the Armida quartet is joined by violist Pauline Sachse and cellist Eckart Runge for the bright and romantic sextet that opens Straussβs opera Capriccio.
