In their first official season in this new formation, they present a programme of much-loved works from this rich repertoire: Mozart, thought to be the first who composed for this line-up, Brahms’ Hungarian-infused masterpiece, and Frank Bridge’s lesser-known but equally wonderful Phantasy Quartet.

• BridgePhantasy Quartet in F♯ minor, H 94
• BrahmsPiano Quartet in G minor, Op. 25

Sidmouth Music, UK

This programme comprises three masterpieces from the Romantic period and the early twentieth century. Two of the composers are widely known and loved, the other deserves to be much more often programmed. The first half of the programme sees two composers give a nod to the Baroque, taking a theme (Brahms) or a form (Enescu), and producing something exquisitely original, idiomatic, and infinitely compelling. The second half is devoted to Schumann’s Fantasie in C, arguably his greatest composition for piano, and a piece which also shows respect to the past, in this case, to the great Ludwig van Beethoven, whom Schumann revered. A beautiful, virtuosic and exciting selection of music which I hope will bring as much joy to my audience as to me.

• BrahmsVariations and Fugue on a Theme by Handel, Op. 24
• EnescuSuite No. 2, Op. 10 ‘Des cloches sonores’
• SchumannFantasie in C, Op. 17
