Toronto - The Gallery Players of Niagara Razumovsky Court Treasures

  • Silver Spire United Church 366 Saint Paul Street St. Catharines, ON, L2R 3N2 Canada (map)

Experience the musical splendour and innovative spirit of the court of Count Razumovsky. Andrey Razumovsky, the Ukrainian-born Russian ambassador to Vienna, is best known today for commissioning Beethoven’s Op. 59 Quartets, as well as his Symphonies No. 5 & 6. The Eybler Quartet will showcase the count’s broad, cutting-edge musical tastes through unjustly neglected quartets by Franz Weiss, Louis Spohr, and Franz Krommer, before rounding out the afternoon with Beethoven’s tour de force, op. 59 no. 3.

Program: Compound quartet with selections from string quartets by Franz Weiss op. 8 no.1, Louis Spohr op. 27 and Franz Krommer op. 68 no. 3

Ludwig van Beethoven - String Quartet in C major op. 59 no. 3
