A taste of chamber music from the Edinburgh International Festival 2023
A selection of chamber music from the Queen's Hall, with works by Haydn, Pierre Vellones, Xavier Montsalvatge, Joseph Ghys and Adrien-Fran莽ois Servais.
Chamber music highlights from the 2023 Edinburgh International Festival.
From the Queen's Hall, the young American Isidore String Quartet plays the second of Haydn鈥檚 Opus 20 quartets, where he breaks from tradition and gives each instrument an equal share of the limelight. A selection of French and Catalonian songs follow by international mezzo-soprano Catriona Morison and renowned pianist Malcolm Martineau. To close, a set of variations on a regal theme from violinist Diana Tishchenko and cellist Istv谩n V谩rdai.
Please note that Xavier Montsalvatge's five songs from 1945 contain archaic language reflective of outdated attitudes.
