The Zehetmair Quartet performs late Beethoven and Shostakovich at London's Wigmore Hall
Beethoven String Quartet in C# minor Op. 131
Shostakovich String Quartet No.15 in Eb minor, Op 144
Zehetmair Quartet

With its seven continuous movements, Beethoven's Quartet Op. 131 still sounds as visionary today as when it was first written. This immense, labyrinthine piece has an extraordinary depth of intensity. The highly acclaimed Zehetmair Quartet pair this with Shostakovich's final quartet, a bleakly introspective work made up of six slow movements.

Poulenc's huge paean to liberty is one of the twentieth century's greatest choral achievements. Written in Nazi occupied France, it is a poetic and musical tour de force which climaxes in great wave like shouts of Libert茅.
