String Quartet No 2 in D
String Quartet No 8 in C minor Opus 110
String Quartet No 1 in D
Programme One features two of the most deeply felt works in the repertoire: Borodin’s melodic second quartet featuring the famous nocturne; and Shostakovich’s gruelling eighth quartet, with its references to the futile destruction caused by war. The gorgeous slow movement of Tchaikovsky’s first string quartet apparently caused the writer Tolstoy to ‘dissolve into tears’.
The Wellington programme is presented as part of the 2010 New Zealand International Arts Festival.
