Robert Plane, Skampa Quartet
Robert Plane (clarinet) and the Skampa Quartet perform at St George's Bristol. Brahms: String Quartet No 2. Dvorak: String Quartet No 12. Brahms: Clarinet Quintet in B minor.
Tom Service presents the first in a week of events, in association with St. George's Bristol, for Radio 3's Brahms Experience.
Over the next five evenings, Tom introduces live performances from Daniel Hope (violin), Stephen Kovacevich (piano), the Skampa Quartet, 大象传媒 Singers and 大象传媒 National Orchestra of Wales. During the intervals, Tom discusses aspects of Brahms's life and music with performers and experts. Plus, there are more fascinating insights into Brahms's world in Radio 3's The Essay, delivered in front of our live Bristol audience and recorded for broadcast after the concerts.
The Brahms Experience continues across Radio 3, all this week, in Essential Classics, Composer of the Week, Afternoon on 3 and Through the Night.
Tonight, the Skampa Quartet pair Brahms's second quartet, whose tragic overtones are offset by its vigorous gypsy influences, with Dvorak's ebullient 'American' Quartet. After the interval, they are joined by Robert Plane in Brahms's late masterwork for clarinet and strings.
Brahms: String Quartet No 2 in A minor, op.51 no.2
Dvorak: String Quartet No.12 in F, op.96 'American'
8.25pm INTERVAL
Robert Plane discusses Brahms's relationship with the clarinettist Richard M眉hlfeld, whose playing inspired the composer to emerge from retirement.
They examine what it was about M眉hlfeld's musicianship that so appealed to Brahms, how M眉hlfeld's performance style influenced the works Brahms composed for him, and the lasting legacy they had on each other's lives.
