Schwarzenberg Festival 2023 (4/4)

Radio 3鈥檚 week of concerts from Schwarzenberg in the Austrian mountains continues with Dvo艡谩k's 'American' Quartet. Steven Isserlis plays Beethoven鈥檚 Cello Sonata in A, Op 69.

Sarah Walker presents highlights of this year鈥檚 Schubertiade, a celebration of Schubert鈥檚 music held in the Austrian village of Schwarzenberg, famed for its traditional rustic wooden houses. The concerts took place in the Angelika Kauffmann Hall, a handsome timber-framed building overlooking idyllic mountain pastures, whose exquisite acoustics and intimate atmosphere make it an ideal venue for chamber music.

Today鈥檚 programme begins with a favourite from the quartet repertoire, Dvo艡谩k's 鈥淎merican鈥� Quartet, written during his visit to the United States, and influenced by the melodies he found there.
