Pinchas Zukerman and Amanda Forsyth
perform with principal players from the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra Schubert String Trio in B-flat major Kodály Duo for Violin and Cello Schubert String Quintet in C major
Pinchas Zukerman Violin Andrew Storey Violin Fiona Winning Viola Amanda Forsyth Cello Tim Gill Cello
Pinchas Zukerman tutors RCM Rising Stars in an afternoon devoted to Mozart’s String Quintet, which revived the composer’s interest in chamber music after his premiere of The Marriage of Figaro.The afternoon culminates in an outstanding evening concert that showcases this dark and melancholic work, as well as Schubert’s ‘Trout’ Quintet. Purely written for a friendly get together with his friends, Schubert’s Piano Quintet is a remarkable and melodious work.
Schubert’s musical output was nothing short of immense and tonight’s two works illustrate his astounding power of ravishing melody. Sadly, his Quintet was one of his last penned compositions. In melodic contrast, Kodály’s Duo gathers a worldly potpourri of folk music illustrated by a canon, pizzicato strings and ending with a lively dance.
