Join eleven of the world’s leading musicians for an evening of achingly beautiful Romantic masterpieces.
Schubert’s sublime String Quintet in C – with its famous haunting Adagio – showcases the composer at his most inspired, while Strauss’ gorgeous Sextet from Capriccio is a love letter to music itself. His final opera follows a composer and a poet each vying for the love of a Countess, with the opening sextet imagined as a work written by the composer Flamand for his beloved.
Sensual and intimate, Schoenberg’s Verklärte Nacht is the composer’s best-loved work. Inspired by a poem following two lovers’ emotions through infidelity and forgiveness, Schoenberg weaves gorgeous Romantic melodies into what some consider the greatest sextet ever written.
