A taste of chamber music from the Edinburgh International Festival 2023 Radio 3 Lunchtime Concert
About
Chamber music highlights from the 2023 Edinburgh International Festival.
From the Queen's Hall, the young American Isidore String Quartet plays the second of Haydn’s Opus 20 quartets, where he breaks from tradition and gives each instrument an equal share of the limelight. A selection of French and Catalonian songs follow by international mezzo-soprano Catriona Morison and renowned pianist Malcolm Martineau. To close, a set of variations on a regal theme from violinist Diana Tishchenko and cellist István Várdai.
Please note that Xavier Montsalvatge's five songs from 1945 contain archaic language reflective of outdated attitudes.
