Beloved, do not let me be discouraged takes its title from a line in a poem by the 16th-century Turkish writer Fuzuli, in which he relates the legend of the ill-fated lovers Layli and Magnun, the eastern counterparts to Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. Brooklyn Rider sets Colin Jacobsen’s ecstatic score in company with a new quartet by Gabriela Lena Frank, named by the Washington Post as one of the most significant women composers in history, and Robert Schumann’s poetic First String Quartet.
