Quatuor Danel

Programme: Weinberg - Quartet No. 8, in C minor, Op. 66 Alexander Krein - Jewish Sketches, Op. 12, for clarinet and string quartet Galina Ustvolskaya - Trio for Clarinet, Violin and Piano (1949) Shostakovich - Quartet No. 5, in B flat, Op. 92 This Jewish-themed concert starts with the most personal and hauntingly beautiful of Weinberg’s quartets and continues with a little-known quintet by another prominent Soviet Jewish composer. 2019 is the centenary year of Galina Ustvolskaya, a pupil and muse to Shostakovich, who quoted her punchy Clarinet Trio in his mighty Fifth String Quartet.
