AUTUMN IN MALVERN
Big School, Malvern College
The Gildas Quartet, praised for their ‘energy, verve and refreshing approach’ have performed to critical acclaim at major venues including the Bridgewater Hall, Barbican, Wigmore Hall and live on BBC Radio 3. Their bold and explorative approach to performance has been widely recognised, as has their determination to bring the visceral experience of string quartet performance to audiences.
In Malvern, they perform the fifth quartet from Haydn’s Op.76 set and the third quartet from Beethoven’s Op.59 set, both works justly celebrated particularly for their slow movements. The concert ends with Britten’s third quartet, written in October and November 1975 and the last major work that the composer completed.
Haydn – String Quartet in D Major Op. 76 No.5
Beethoven – String Quartet in C Major Op 59 No. 3 ‘Razumovsky’
Britten – String Quartet No. 3
