Brodsky Quartet: Serenade for Strings

In collaboration with RCM musicians, the Brodsky Quartet unfolds a varied programme of string classics, all of which are arranged for small ensemble by Paul Cassidy, with the exception of Shostakovich’s Two Pieces for Octet. The programme features Beethoven’s Grosse Fuge, a pivotal chamber piece of unprecedented scale and remarkably modern effects – from extreme contrasts of dynamics and tempo to jagged lines and surprising shifts in mood.
