The Esposito Quartet, one of our most distinguished and long-standing string quartets, opens with Beethoven’s light-hearted A major quartet. Modelled on Mozart’s A Major Quartet K464 written just 15 years earlier, it features an extraordinary set of variations and a scampering, energised finale. Paul Frost’s An Old Song, Half Forgotten, written for the Abbey’s 2023 play of the same name, is followed by Tomáš Ille’s magical, achingly beautiful arrangement for string quartet of Janáček’s piano work In the Mists. Hugo Wolf’s Italian Serenade is the desert!
