Hope Street Ensemble: The Classical Inheritance 1
BEETHOVEN String Quartet No.11 in F minor, Op.95
BRAHMS String Quintet No.2 in G major, Op.111
EMILY MOWBRAY violin
QIAN WU violin
BEN NEWTON viola
RACHEL JONES viola
ALEXANDER HOLLADAY cello
Beethoven’s 'Serioso' Quartet and Brahms’ Second String Quintet were written at turning points in each composer’s life – and both are intense works carrying a strong sense of reflection. Whilst Beethoven’s music is tightly focused and dramatic, Brahms’ is broader, warmer and filled with a feeling of late-life richness. Heard together, they show two different responses to inner struggle: one fierce and compressed, the other expansive and thought-provoking.
