The Chiaroscuro Quartet
The acclaimed period instrument Chiaroscuro Quartet perform Schubert’s 'Death and the Maiden' Quartet plus works by Bach and Haydn from the Edinburgh International Festival 2017.
Every weekday for three weeks, Radio 3 broadcasts one of the stand-out concerts from the Queen’s Hall series over the past decade. Today Donald Macleod introduces the Chiaroscuro Quartet, celebrated for their trailblazing work performing classical chamber music on gut strings. This recording from the 2017 Edinburgh International Festival features a dazzling performance of Schubert’s sorrowful ‘Death and the Maiden’ Quartet, plus one of Haydn’s Op.76 works, his final visionary word on the quartet form. The recital opens with JS Bach’s most enigmatic work, the Art of Fugue.
