String Quartet No. 8 in E minor, Op. 59, No. 2
A tantalising morning’s music with a prizewinning young quartet fitting a Cheltenham date into their busy touring schedule. Two acknowledged masterpieces start and finish the concert and should feed and soothe the soul with their sensuality and harmony. These are wrapped around a reflective and luscious piece by Japan’s leading composer of the last century. The Marmen Quartet has a growing reputation for their courage, vitality and intensity of performance and is fast establishing itself as one of the most impressive and engaging talents in the chamber music arena.
Concert running time 75 minutes with no interval.
