Arvo Pärt’s hypnotic Fratres started life as an evocation of monks in a cloister, slow and processional, so his later violin version may come as a shock. Its explosive, pulsating opening paragraph puts the contemplative life into a startling new perspective. Beethoven’s remarkable ‘Storm’ Quintet invokes one of his heroes, Mozart, in the gorgeous slow movement; but elsewhere the brusque comedy and the thunder-and-lightning finale are 110% Beethoven.Programme:
Pärt: Fratres
Hugo Ticciati, Dirk Mommertz
Beethoven: String Quintet in C ‘The Storm’
Priya Mitchell, Annette Walther, Meghan Cassidy, Bryony Gibson-Cornish, Brian O’Kane
