Journeys - Australian String Quartet
Journey with the Australian String Quartet through Haydn's exuberant Fifths Quartet, the string quartet of renowned Australian composer Miriam Hyde, and Beethoven's extraordinary opus 131
“Beethoven once said "Art demands of us that we not stand still".
Haydn's Fifths Quartet, so named after its opening motif, travels from the eponymous first movement, through to the lyrical second movement and the famous Hexen (Witches) minuet, concluding with a spirited finale.
As a young composer Miriam Hyde declined a traditional path and instead travelled far from home and family to pursue her musical destiny. Here we visit her quartet of 1947 for the first time.
Beethoven's opus 131 is a profoundly moving work. One of his most creative quartets, its extraordinary seven movement structure takes us on an epic journey into the soul. ”
