String Quartets by Haydn, Brahms, Shostakovich, and Fujikura

Three significant string quartets from the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries frame a recent work in the Quartet Amabile’s concert.

Dai Fujikura composed Aquarius in 2020 for the young Japanese ensemble, which is performing at the Pierre Boulez Saal for the third time.

“I wanted to write a piece that develops freely in form and has no recognizable sections,” explains the composer. “The sound of a group of string instruments has a special elasticity, and for me, it is the only instrumentation that makes this constant adaptability possible.”
