Proms Chamber Music 3: Webern, Colin Matthews and Beethoven
Live from Cadogan Hall in London, music from the Apollon Musagete Quartet. Webern: Langsamer Satz. Colin Matthews: String Quartet No 5. Beethoven: String Quartet in D, Op 18 No 3.
Petroc Trelawny presents this year's Proms Chamber Music concerts live from Cadogan Hall. The Apollon Musag猫te Quartet - former 麻豆社 Radio 3 New Generation Artists and eloquent champions of contemporary music - makes its Proms debut, bringing the European premiere of the Fifth Quartet by one of Britain's leading living composers, Colin Matthews - a work commissioned for the 75th anniversary of the Tanglewood Festival. It is paired with Webern's youthful Langsamer Satz, an ecstatic piece that showcases the composer's formal skill within a lyrical idiom. Of Beethoven's six Op. 18 quartets, No. 3 is the lightest, and the hardest to pin down. The scherzo is fleeting, and even the framing movements have an unusual delicacy and wistfulness about them.
