Jörg Widmann Quartet No 3 ‘The Hunt’
Edinburgh International Festival Edinburgh Scotland http://www.eif.co.ukGRINGOLTS QUARTET Led by international violin soloist Ilya Gringolts, the Gringolts Quartet has dazzled audiences from Salzburg to London’s Wigmore Hall with its remarkable technical prowess and its raw, radiant, revealing accounts of music old and new.
Brahms’s bright, sunny and exquisitely crafted Third Quartet closes their rich, witty International Festival debut recital. It follows Haydn’s brilliantly comic ‘The Frog’ Quartet, and the darker humour of contemporary German composer Jörg Widmann’s fantastical ‘The Hunt’ Quartet – which ends in a literal musical hunt of one of the quartet players.
This concert will be broadcast on BBC Radio 3 on 14 AugustJoseph Haydn : String Quartet in D Op 50 No 6 ‘The Frog’
