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.

The FrenchCanadian pianist’s approach consistently reflects the balance of classical and romantic elements in Chopin’s music, consciously exploring the improvisational nature and lyrical qualities of his Nocturnes and Impromptus. Lortie prefaces the composer’s turbulent final sonata for solo piano with the yearning Nocturne in B Op. 9 No. 3.

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.

The Brodsky Quartet’s mature vision of Britten’s second string quartet is not to be missed. Emotional contrasts and thematic congruities abound in Beethoven’s ‘Serioso’ quartet.

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. Promoted by the Razumovsky Trust (Reg. Charity No. 1111848)

Nicolas Tavernier

SUNDAY 23 JUNE 11.30 AM Coffee Concert

Manufacturing advances and the related rise of virtuoso performers drew many composers to the clarinet in the 19th-century’s second half. Brahms, for example, was inspired Paul Meyer François Salque by Richard Mühlfeld’s playing and wrote the Clarinet Trio in A minor for him. Paul Meyer and his Le Sage Trio companions pair Brahms’s sublime score with another late masterwork, Fauré’s D minor Trio in its original version. SUNDAY 23 JUNE 7.30 PM Chamber Music Season
