13. Concert: The Elite of String Quartets
Sun, June 16th at 17
Lauttasaari Church
Ludwig van Beethoven (1770–1827): String Quartet No.16 in F major Op.135 (1826)
Jouni Kaipainen (1956–2015): String Quartet No.6 Op. 92 ’The Terror Run’ (2010)
Maurice Ravel (1875–1937): String Quartet in F major (1903)
String Quartet Op.135 by Ludwig van Beethoven has a relatively short but stunningly beautiful slow movement. The other movements exhibit playfulness and perhaps a hint of insider humor. Jouni Kaipainen composed seven string quartets, among which 'The Terror Run' has already received numerous performances. Maurice Ravel's stylistically rich and varied quartet belongs unquestionably to the forefront of string quartet literature.
