Quartetto
Espressivo will be performing Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s String Quartet No. 1
in D major, Op. 11 and Giuseppe Verdi’s String Quartet in E minor, the only
piece of music he ever wrote for a string quartet. The Tchaikovsky piece is
said to have brought the great Russian novelist Leo Tolstoy to tears when it
was performed at a tribute concert for him. The Verdi piece on the other hand
is a surprising work from a composer known for his operas. This piece of
chamber music came into being during his idle time when the Milan/Naples
production of Aïda got delayed due to soprano Teresa Stolz’s illness.
