The Calidore String Quartet, former Radio 3 New Generation Artists, play two contrasting works of spiritual dimension, Golijov's "Tenebrae" for string quartet, and Beethoven's mighty String Quartet Opus 131. The recital was recorded as part of a Radio 3 Big Chamber Weekend, held in association with Tetbury Music Festival and first broadcast in 2019.

Introduced by Fiona Talkington.

The Calidore String Quartet present a work by Golijov which seeks perspectives on the violence of our world and at the same time its enormity, with Beethoven's late quartet, Opus 131, an expression of the composer's advanced thinking on the form itself and his profound contemplation on life in all its forms.
