ABOUT
Once again, an inspiring encounter between “mentor” and “protégé”, new life is breathed into the music of Brahms, and Schubert’s Quintet for Two Cellos – perhaps one of the most awe-inspiring works in the entire chamber-music repertoire and a true testament from Schubert’s final year. Pinchas Zukerman and Daniel Hope are joined by companions from their musical family: pianist Simon Crawford-Phillips; Ryszard Groblewski, principal violist of the Zurich Chamber Orchestra; and the two cellists Amanda Forsyth (Zukerman’s wife) and Josephine Knight (Professor of the String Academy).
