Wild Beauty: Piano Quartets by Martinu and Brahms

Welsh musicians, Richard Ormrod and Mary Hofman are joined by the fantastic viola player, Emma Sheppard (principal with English National Ballet) and inspirational Rebecca Knight on cello (guest principal with City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, principal player with City of London Sinfonia).

They will be performing Czech composer, Martinu's extraordinary, virtuosic piano quartet; its three movements move through intense emotion, lyricism and playful, folk music-inspired fantasy.

This will be followed by one of Brahms's masterworks: the C minor piano quartet, often known as the Werther Quartet due to its allusions to Goethe's novella 'The Sorrows of Young Werther'. It is a work of passionate intensity and lyrical beauty.
