The Arod Quartet play Al Asr by French composer Benjamin Attahir
Still in their early twenties, the Arod quartet perform Schumann and a recent commission.
The Paris-based Arod Quartet (meaning 鈥榮wift鈥� in J.R.R Tolkien鈥檚 mythic Rohirric language), finish a week of recitals based around French repertoire with a commission written for them by composer Benjamin Attahir. Attahir鈥檚 piece takes inspiration from the Muslim afternoon prayer; the heat, light and atmosphere of that moment. Schumann鈥檚 quartet in A minor follows, written after a period of depression and first performed as a birthday present for Clara Schumann.
