Bloch – Korn­gold – Men­dels­sohn

Three distinct voices, three perspectives on the string quartet: Ernest Bloch opens the programme with his meditative Prélude. Next, Erich Wolfgang Korngold’s Second Quartet surprises with its blend of great sonic playfulness and Viennese melancholy. And although rarely performed today, Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy considered his late Quartet in E-flat Major to be his finest.

Ernest Bloch: Prélude for String Quartet B. 63
Erich Wolfgang Korngold: String Quartet No. 2 in E-flat Major op. 26
