Edinburgh in Winter (2/4)
From Edinburgh, the Armida Quartet play Mendelssohn's Capriccio for string quartet, and the SCO Chamber Ensemble with Maxim Emelyanychev on piano play Schubert's 'Trout' Quintet.
The award-winning Armida Quartet begins this recital from the Queen鈥檚 Hall in Edinburgh with one of Mendelssohn鈥檚 Op 81 works for string quartet. It鈥檚 a short work, written late in his life and tinged with wistful melancholy. Schubert鈥檚 Piano Quintet D667 follows, performed by the SCO Chamber Ensemble and principal conductor Maxim Emelyanychev on piano. The quintet was commissioned by Sylvester Paumgartner and Schubert niftily included a theme and variations on one of Paumgartner鈥檚 favourite songs, which Schubert also happened to have written called 鈥楧ie Forelle鈥�, 鈥楾he Trout鈥�.
The programme is presented by Elizabeth Alker.
