Tchaikovsky: String Quartet No. 1 in D major, Op. 11 (1871) – II Andante cantabile
The Heath Quartet makes its harmonia mundi début with this contrasting programme of Tchaikovsky’s String Quartets: his Quartet No. 1 (famed for its plaintive Andante cantabile) and the tempestuous No. 3 (dedicated to the memory of Ferdinand Laub). “The music’s potency and bravura were conveyed with thrilling conviction.” (THE GUARDIAN)
