Pavel Haas Quartet

BBC Radio 3 - Radio 3 Lunchtime Concert, Music from Ireland, Pavel Haas Quartet

Two Nocturnes by Faure: No 7 and No 6, plus Mendelssohn's String Quartet in A minor, Op 13

Michel Dalberto (piano) in Faure: Nocturnes: No 7 in C sharp minor, Op 74; No 6 in D flat, Op 63. Danish String Quartet in Mendelssohn: String Quartet in A minor, Op 13.

Today's concert begins with two Nocturnes by Fauré performed in the National Concert Hall, Dublin by Michel Dalberto, a member of the Capuçon Trio. The invention of the Nocturne is attributed to the Irishman, John Field and Fauré uses the form to present his profound writing for piano. Dalbeto begins with the bleak and almost despairing, Nocturne No 7 and couples it with the Nocturne No. 6 which is one of Fauré's most loved works, perhaps because of its achingly beautiful opening theme.
BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artists, the Danish Quartet presented Mendelssohn's String Quartet in A minor at the Strule Arts Centre in Omagh as part of the musician's tour of Northern Ireland presented by Moving on Music. In March 1837, Felix Mendelssohn married Cecile Jeanrenaud in Frankfurt, and during the summer they extended the honeymoon with a stay in Bingen am Rhein, where Felix and Cecile kept a joint diary and so we know that it was during this time that he composed his String Quartet in E Minor, completing it on June 18, 1837.
