Schubert & Britten

Friday 2nd July 4pm | Crail Church

Tickets £15 (Zone 1) / £11 (Zone 2) Approx 1 hr

 

Belcea String Quartet

Elias String Quartet

Elias String Quartet

Schubert: Quartet in G minor, D.173
Britten: Quartet No.1 in D, Op.25

'The emotional chemistry here was manifestly unusual…pure magic' The Sunday Telegraph

The Elias Quartet generate phenomenal excitement and involvement on-stage. Each of their concerts places one of Britten's quartets alongside works by his musical idols. This first quartet, written in America in 1941, has often been described as “classical” and has a readily discernible Schubertian quality, so the Elias Quartet has paired it with Schubert's youthful G minor quartet which is as full of charm and energy as anything he ever wrote.


 

CD OFFER

The Elias String Quartet's new CD featuring Britten's music for string quartet is now available in the shops - but you can buy it direct from their record label, Sonimage and save £3 - simply click on the CD cover, and don't forget to come to hear the quartet perform all 3 of Britten's quartets live in the East Neuk of Festival/
