Thursday 8th October > RTÉ Vanbrugh Quartet This October, the RTÉ Vanbrugh Quartet will present a Haydn master-piece alongside the Russian romantics including short works from ‘Les Vendredis’ - a popular# collection of musical surprises and offerings presented at the parties of the St. Petersburg's music scene in the late 19th century. Opening the concert, Haydn’s String Quartet Op. 33 No. 3 is from a collection now recognised as the first true string quartet masterpieces. This quartet was probably nicknamed ‘The Bird’ on account of the trills on the first violin and the ‘chirping’ appoggiaturas. Tchaikovsky completed his String Quartet No. 3, the last of his three string quartets, in 1876 and it was performed for the first time during a soirée at Nikolai Rubinstein's apartment in March that year. |
