Great Music in Irish Houses Festival 2019 (4/4)

In our final visit to the 2019 Great Music in Irish Houses Festival, we have music by Brahms and Beethoven. Opening today’s concert, cellist Mark Coppey and pianist Finghin Collins perform Brahms’ Cello Sonata in E minor, written over a period of three years in the 1860s, with the piano having a more prominent role. We finish the week with the Pavel Haas Quartet and Beethoven’s String Quartet in C major, from the composer’s middle period, one of his “Razumovsky” quartets, commissioned by Count Razumovsky, the Russian ambassador to Vienna.
