Brahms and Dvořák
Who’s on stage
Five musicians from Royal Northern Sinfonia’s string section take to the stage in Berwick.
What they’re playing
Rich, romantic string quintets by Brahms and Dvořák. This was Brahms’ first completed string quintet and he was very proud of it, telling his publisher “you have never before had such a beautiful work from me.” See if you agree.
The first movement of Dvořák’s String Quintet in G major is marked con fuoco (with fire) and sparks will fly with brilliant folky melodies and compelling drama throughout.
What you'll hear
Zoltán Kodály Intermezzo for String Trio (6’)
Johannes Brahms String Quintet No. 1 in F major (30’)
Antonín Dvořák String Quintet in G major (35’)
Who's playing
Five musicians from Royal Northern Sinfonia.
