Shostakovich and the Fitzwilliam String Quartet have been linked since the ensemble’s early years in the 1960s. The Quartet’s original Lucy Russell Marcus Barcham-Stevens Alan George Heather Tuach members formed a close friendship with the composer and recorded the first complete cycle of his string quartets. Shostakovich’s ninth quartet, by turns playful and unsettling, stands here with another core Fitzwilliam work, Beethoven’s fatalistic String Quartet in F Op. 135.

Lortie prefaces the composer’s turbulent final sonata for solo piano with the yearning Nocturne in B Op. 9 No. 3.

Their recital begins and ends with Schubert, placing the early ‘Duo’ Sonata alongside Poulenc’s heartbreaking Violin Sonata and pairing Ives’s nostalgic, richly allusive final Violin Sonata with the Fantasy in C D934, a potent late masterwork.

Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin

Wigmore Hall’s Early Music and Baroque Series goes from strength to strength with the appearance this season of the Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin. The inspirational chamber orchestra regularly performs under the direction of one of its four leaders.

This programme charts the pan-European importance of the Italian composer and violinist Arcangelo Corelli, unequalled during his lifetime. Corelli’s groundbreaking concertos directly influenced that of his pupil Francesco Geminiani and Vivaldi, and also left a lasting mark on works by younger composers such as William Babell and Giovanni Benedetto Platti.

The fruits of their explorations can be heard in this Coffee Concert with the third of Beethoven’s Op. 59 quartets. When told by a violinist that his ‘Razumovsky’ works were not music, the composer replied: ‘Oh, they are not for you, but for a later age!’

Jordi Savall

For well over forty years, Jordi Savall has ranged beyond early music’s formal borders to reveal long forgotten repertories and reinstate the links that once connected popular tunes to compositions fashioned for connoisseurs. The Catalan violist and conductor’s work was recently recognised with the Léonie Sonning Music Prize, Denmark’s ‘Nobel’ for music, awarded not least for his lifelong efforts to bring together ‘diverse musical traditions in an enormously meaningful intercultural dialogue’. He turns to the world of Celtic music, in company with long-time collaborators Andrew Lawrence-King and Frank McGuire. ‘So many of these amazing works allowed people to survive in the most difficult conditions,’ says Savall.

This concert will be approximately 75 minutes with no interval The artists are grateful for the support of the Departament de Cultura of the Generalitat de Catalunya, the Institut Ramon Llull and the ‘Culture Programme’ of the European Union.

Young Handel’s prolonged stay in Italy during the early 1700s delivered vibrant musical and personal stimulation as he collected rich patrons, fraternised with influential musicians and enjoyed a much-gossiped-about fling with a star soprano! His cantata Clori, Tirsi e Fileno projects the spirit of invention alive in Rome, where Arcangelo Corelli was busy revolutionising violin writing while the Scarlattis, father and son, thrilled audiences with instrumental writing of quirky flamboyance.

Razumovsky Ensemble Glazunov String Quintet in A Op. 39 Brahms Piano Quintet in F minor Op. 34 For their latest Wigmore Hall appearance, members of the Razumovsky Ensemble connect with the power of five. Their programme brings together two strikingly mature quintets created while their composers were still young. Alexander Glazunov’s String Quintet in A, with its romantic slow movement and distinctly Russian melodic style, stands here together with the tempestuous F minor Piano Quintet of Brahms.
