We continue our multifaceted chamber music series in the current season with the well-known Vogler Quartet. This time, the Voglers have chosen Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Piano Quartet KV 493 the centrepiece of their programme. Bookending it: Antonín Dvořák. First off, his lovely String Quartet No. 7, a triumph that he put down on paper in just ten days in 1874. It was the first of his chamber works in which the composer found his own style while tapping into a national musical language, completely shaking off Wagner’s influence. Dvořák’s Piano Quintet of 1887, for which Caspar Frantz joins the string quartet on the piano, is one of the great Romantic works for this instrumentation, along with those of Schubert, Schumann, Brahms and Franck, and one of his most popular: “Rich melodic invention, lush sound, masterful form alongside late Romantic pathos and Czech influences,” summarises a chamber music guide.
