Quartet bring great joy to appreciative audience
11:07am Wednesday 16th May 2012
TWO very substantial works of the chamber music genre were played by the Piatti Quartet, Charlotte Scott - first violin, Michael Trainor - second violin, David Wigram - viola and Jessie Ann Richardson - cello at the final concert of the 2011-2012 season. Beethoven’s "String Quartet No 15 in A minor Op 132" was composed in 1825 just two years before his death during frequent bouts of ill health. The opening movement was approached with passion, the soaring themes carefully delineated. The allegro, including a bagpipe like section, was sweepingly played almost with an air of nonchalance. The core of the piece, the adagio, headed a "Sacred Song of thanksgiving from one who is recovered, to the Godhead", received such rapt concentration that the audience seemed to be holding its breath. The joyful march which followed came as a happy release leading to the final allegro attacked with clarity and great precision.
