at the Middleton Hall, University of Hull
Carducci String Quartet
| Haydn | Quartet in E flat op 33 no 2 (Joke) |
| David Matthews | Quartet no 11 |
| Mendelssohn | Quartet in A minor op 13 |
The Anglo-Irish Carducci Quartet, winners of numerous international prizes, have gone from strength to strength since their superb concert here two seasons ago. Their programme marks the 200th anniversaries of the death of Haydn and of the birth of Mendelssohn, and contains a new work by David Matthews, commissioned by the Carducci and first performed by them in June this year.
They brought to the slow movement a transcendent beauty, and colours that suggested a rare maturity – confirming this quartet’s gift for unselfconscious and totally engaging communication.
