Quatuor Ébène perform Ravel, and the Van Baerle Trio play Mozart.

Quatuor Ébène perform Ravel's String Quartet in F, and the Van Baerle Trio play Mozart's Piano Trio in B flat, at the Queen's Hall in Edinburgh.

Former New Generation Artists the Quatuor Ebene open the fourth programme in this series with Ravel’s lively and colourful String Quartet in F.  Written when Ravel was still in his 20s and finishing his studies at the Paris Conservatoire, he dedicated it to his teacher Gabriel Fauré.  Mozart wrote his Piano Trio in B flat around the same time as three of his much-loved piano concertos and several piano quartets, so it’s perhaps unsurprising that we hear a greater prominence in the piano lines of this work, performed by the prize-winning Van Baerle Trio.
