Description
Legends of Australian chamber music, the Goldner Quartet and Piers Lane show their polished expertise in magnificent works for piano and strings, glowing with warmth and melody.
Dvorák had the most marvellous and engaging response to the USA he encountered in the 1890s. Dvorák composed this quartet in an astonishingly productive couple of weeks, reacting with childlike enthusiasm to the sounds he encountered on a rare family holiday in the countryside.
How fitting to see this programmed alongside two distinctive and original masterpieces for piano quintet – and throwing into relief the mature and individual voice of young Australian composer Jakub Jankowski. And how brilliant to have them performed by the Goldner Quartet and Piers Lane – long-time friends, colleagues, collaborators – who for so long have championed the old and the new with utter commitment.
