Celebrate two giants of the classical world.
Christine Bootland, cello & Musaeus String Quartet
Schubert and Mozart - these two composers stand head and shoulders above many of their classical counterparts. This concert showcases two string quintets far surpassing similar works with their sheer genius. Schubert’s quintet, his last, was praised as having “bottomless pathos”, and broke through the misconception that Schubert composed only songs and piano pieces. Mozart’s quintet, nicknamed “Dissonance” due to its unusually slow introduction, is perhaps his most famous. It was dedicated to Haydn, who said Mozart was the greatest living composer he knew. What better accolades could any composer wish for? What better repertoire to begin a new concert season?
