Ravel, Holst & Janáčekbit.ly/4bHubGU
The sixteen strings of the four instruments in the GoYa Quartet became perfectly attuned to each other in Amsterdam’s prestigious Koninklijk Concertgebouworkest. The first violinist Sylvia Huang, a laureate of the Queen Elisabeth Competition, has since moved on from her position in Amsterdam to become the leader of the orchestra at La Monnaie. Fortunately, the musicians still celebrate their shared pleasure in music as a quartet. They will open the evening with two colourful and elegant works by Imogen Holst (the daughter of Gustav) and Maurice Ravel. The refined world of sound in these works, without a single superfluous note, stands in sharp contrast to the dramatic emotions of Leoš Janáček’s String Quartet no. 2, known as Intimate Letters. This impressive quartet expresses Janáček’s unrequited feelings for his young muse Kamila Stösslová.
