Aberdeen Series (3/4)
The Maxwell Quartet and pianist Alasdair Beatson perform piano quintets by Franck and MacMillan alongside the quartet's own arrangement of a traditional piece, Os Mutorum.
Recorded at Haddo House Hall in Aberdeenshire, today's Lunchtime concert blends traditional with contemporary. The Maxwell Quartet share their passion for traditional and classical music and in this recital, in their sensitively arranged version of Os Mutorum. The Maxwell Quartet are joined by pianist Alasdair Beatson for the world premiere of a work commissioned by Haddo Arts from composer Sir James MacMillan CBE called 'We Are Collective' and they finish with Cesar Franck's Piano Quintet which has been described as having a "torrid emotional power".
