Cotswolds Festivals (2/4)
Sarah Walker presents highlights from music festivals in the Cotswolds, including Mozart鈥檚 effervescent Clarinet Quintet in A and Fanny Mendelssohn鈥檚 String Quartet in E flat.
Sarah Walker presents a selection of highlights from the 2023 Chipping Campden and Tetbury Festivals. The Wigmore Soloists open today鈥檚 lunchtime concert with a performance of Mozart鈥檚 effervescent Clarinet Quintet in A, written for his friend the clarinettist Anton Stadler, whose playing inspired him because it reminded Mozart of the human voice. It鈥檚 followed by the Tak谩cs Quartet playing Fanny Mendelssohn鈥檚 String Quartet in E flat 鈥� said to be among the earliest surviving string quartets written by a woman, a rhapsodic work full of harmonic originality.
