Tchaikovsky's first string quartet
work is considered the first major great Russian string quartet. Its second movement, famous in its own right,
was based on a folk song heard by the composer whistled by a house
painter. When the quartet was performed
at a Tribute concert for Leo Tolstoy, it was said to have brought Tolstoy to
tears. As a tribute to Giuseppe Verdi on
his birth bi-centennial this year, we present his dramatic and only String
Quartet. Written before the world premiere
of his famous opera Aida, the work demands impeccable technique from its
performers, but filled with beautiful melodies only the King of Opera can
imagine.
