Quatuor Danel Evening Concert (17 February) * University of Manchester Symphony Orchestra (18 February)
Friday 17 February 2012 (7.30pm)
Quatuor Danel Evening Concert
- Weinberg Quartet No. 6, Op. 35
- Shostakovich Elegy
- Tchaikovsky Quartet No. 3 in E flat minor, Op. 30
Weinberg’s colossal six-movement Sixth Quartet was the audience choice at the Quatuor Danel’s ground-breaking complete cycle two years ago. Tchaikovsky’s equally imposing Third is one of his most elegiac and deeply-felt utterances. And Shostakovich’s first piece for string quartet – transcribed from his opera The Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk District - provides the pivot.
