Lammermuir Festival, 2017
Quatuor Mosaiques perform string quartets by Mozart and Donizetti at 2017's Lammermuir Festival.
Period instrument specialists, Quatuor Mosa茂ques, perform two string quartets in the unique 'arts and crafts' setting of Chalmers Memorial Church. The church, with its carved timbers and elaborate stencil work, sits in the small fishing village of Port Seton and is one of the many picturesque venues used during this year's Lammermuir Festival in East Lothian. Mozart's String Quartet in G major, K387, was the first of a series of six that Mozart would eventually dedicate to Haydn. The responsibility of creating a work worthy of such a dedication was revealed in Mozart's inscription on the published works that they were 'the fruit of long and laborious endeavour'. Donizetti's operatic works overshadow his rarely heard quartets, so it seems fitting that the second work that Quatuor Mosa茂ques perform at the Lammermuir Festival should be one that was written in 1836, a year after the premiere of his tragic opera 'Lucia di Lammermoor'.
