Live at Wigmore Hall, the acclaimed Pavel Haas Quartet joins forces with renowned pianist Boris Giltburg to deliver a mesmerizing performance of two seminal works from the Romantic chamber music repertoire. The concert features Brahms’s Piano Quartet No. 1 in G minor (Op. 25) and Piano Quartet No. 2 in A major (Op. 26).

The performance is introduced by Ian Skelly, who provides context for the pieces and includes Boris’ own appreciation of the rich, somewhat neglected Quartet No. 2, which the pianist defines as “One of the sunniest and least perturbed Brahms pieces”.

Giltburg’s program featured a selection of Chopin’s most evocative nocturnes, including the Nocturne in B Major, Op. 62, No. 1; Nocturne in C-sharp Minor, Op. 27, No. 1; Nocturne in F-sharp Minor, Op. 48, No. 2; Nocturne in F Major, Op. 15 No. 1; Nocturne in G Minor, Op. 37, No. 1; Nocturne in E-flat Major, Op. 55, No. 2; Nocturne in C Minor, Op. 48, No. 1; and Nocturne in E Major, Op. 62, No. 2. Each piece was performed with an exquisite sensitivity that highlighted the emotional depth and technical brilliance of Chopin’s compositions.

In a compelling contrast, Giltburg also presented pieces from the Russian musical canon, including Medtner’s Piano Sonata No. 3 in G Minor, Tchaikovsky’s “Dumka”, and Stravinsky’s “Three Movements from Petrushka”. These selections showcased the rich and diverse textures of Russian classical music, offering a fascinating dialogue between the delicate introspection of Chopin and the robust expressiveness of his Russian counterparts.
