Manchester Camerata

Three lyrical masterpieces from three masters of chamber composition. Mozart’s 1787 G minor String Quintet is a dark, brooding and melancholic work.

Brahms’ second String Quintet in G major, dating from 100 years later, was written in the idyllic country setting of Bad Ischl in Austria. Gorgeously rich with endless melodies, this late work shows Brahms at his most inventive.

Hugo Wolf’s sunny Italian Serenade for String Quartet completes the programme.
