Sheffield's resident ensemble of world-class musicians returns to the Crucible Studio to perform Brahms, Korngold and more!
The two beautiful Opus 51 quartets were the first works for this formation that Brahms was willing to publish, though only after a period of immense self-doubt and revision. Each is conceived on the same grand scale that characterises Brahms’ symphonic writing. The lavish style of Korngold’s famous Hollywood scores is pre-dated by his wonderful piano quintet in which distinct traces of the late Romantic works of Elgar and Rachmaninov can be detected. Ensemble 360 is also delighted to feature a world première by rising young composer Laurence Osborn who has already written for the London Symphony Orchestra and London Philharmonic Orchestra.
Programme
- BRAHMS: String Quartet in C minor Op.51 No.1
- LAURENCE OSBORN: New Work for Piano Quintet, commissioned by Royal Philharmonic Society
- KORNGOLD: Piano Quintet in E Op.15
