Bart贸k Plus from LSO St Luke's in London
The Vertavo String play Bart贸k's 5th and 6th String Quartets, which he composed after emigrating to the United States, alongside Dvo艡谩k's String Quartet in F major, the 'American'.
Fiona Talkington presents the final concert of Radio 3's Bartok Plus series, featuring all six of Bartok's string quartets alongside works that both influenced his evolution and chart his journey from Hungary to America. This evening, the Vertavo Quartet play Bartok's final two string quartets, which he wrote in the 1930s after emigrating to the United States. Four decades earlier, Dvorak composed his ever-popular string quartet nicknamed the 'American', which he composed in Iowa, on holiday from the National Conservatory in New York where he was director.
Recorded at LSO St Luke's in London earlier this month and presented by Fiona Talkington.
