Leonkoro Quartet
Live from the Wigmore Hall, the Radio 3 New Generation Artists play Janacek's String Quartet No 1 'Kreutzer Sonata' and Schumann's String Quartet in A, Op 41 No 3.
The shadow of Beethoven joins the dots in this recital from current Radio 3 New Generation Artists, the Leonkoro Quartet. Janacek's String Quartet No 1 'Kreutzer Sonata' was composed in just two weeks during an intensely creative period. It was inspired by Leo Tolstoy's novella, The Kreutzer Sonata, which in turn was inspired by the eponymous violin sonata by Beethoven. And Beethoven was a key source of inspiration for Schumann in his three string quartets, of which the last is performed here.
