Walter Carroll Lunchtime Concert Series: Quatuor Danel with Michelle Assay
14 Sep 2018
1.10pm Thursday 4 October at the Martin Harris Centre
Lutosławski Bucolics (1953). Versions for piano solo and viola and cello
Myaskovsky Quartet No. 13 in A minor, Op. 86 (1949)
In the last years of Stalin’s regime, composers in Russia and the eastern bloc were exhorted to compose music ‘for the people’. In Poland Lutosławski responded with a folklike series of piano pieces, which he later arranged for viola and cello, while in Russia the ailing Myaskovsky, once dubbed ‘the conscience of Soviet music’, composed his lyrical farewell to the quartet genre.
Followed at 2.30pm by Quatuor Danel Seminar
Dr Anne Hyland and the Danels explore the unique expressive world of Schubert’s late quartets.
