Schwarzenberg Festival 2023 (4/4)
Radio 3βs week of concerts from Schwarzenberg in the Austrian mountains continues with DvoΕΓ‘k's 'American' Quartet. Steven Isserlis plays Beethovenβs Cello Sonata in A, Op 69.
Sarah Walker presents highlights of this yearβs Schubertiade, a celebration of Schubertβs music held in the Austrian village of Schwarzenberg, famed for its traditional rustic wooden houses. The concerts took place in the Angelika Kauffmann Hall, a handsome timber-framed building overlooking idyllic mountain pastures, whose exquisite acoustics and intimate atmosphere make it an ideal venue for chamber music.
Todayβs programme begins with a favourite from the quartet repertoire, DvoΕΓ‘k's βAmericanβ Quartet, written during his visit to the United States, and influenced by the melodies he found there.
