Description
About This Performance
An inspired collaboration between one of the most distinctive pianists in the world and a dynamic string quartet that’s drawing praise from critics and audiences worldwide. Together, they explore cherished chamber works by Haydn and Brahms, along with one of Hough’s own compositions.
Musical America recently marveled at Stephen Hough’s “tightly fashioned programs…melodic jewels that twinkle and shine with a multi-faceted brilliance.” His astonishing career can be traced over three decades of satisfying SF Performances recitals witnessing his thoughtful selection of music, emotional resonance, and a style full of joy and wit.
“The Castalian String Quartet is a feisty group, with a real personality and strong interpretative ideas” (The Guardian). BBC Music Magazine hails the Quartet’s “deep contemplation and vivid spontaneity…The quartet’s [playing] is nothing short of a revelation in its lucidity of line and sheer beauty of sound.”
