Beethoven, Fardon and Dvorak String Quartets
From Cheltenham Festival 2020, another chance to hear the Carducci Quartet play Beethoven, Daniel Fardon and Dvorak's American Quartet at St. David's Hall in Cardiff.
Another chance to hear a concert which was first performed live at St. David's Hall in Cardiff by the Carducci Quartet in November 2020 as part of Cheltenham Music Festival.
Beethoven's "Serioso" quartet is a work that may well reflect the personal anxieties besetting Beethoven at the time he wrote it in 1810. Bringing us right up to the present day, commissioned by the Festival, the young British composer Daniel Fardon's new work "Elements of Disco" receives its world premiere. The programme ends in a rather happier frame of mind than Beethoven was experiencing. It's been suggested that Dvo艡谩k found the inspiration for his American Quartet during the early morning walks he took during an especially happy summer visit to Spillville in north-east Iowa.
