Скачать или смотреть Calidore Quartet Plays Schumann Quartet No. 3 in A Major | Emerald City Music | Digital Season

Listen to the second movement of Robert Schumann's String Quartet No. 3 in A Major (1842) performed by the Calidore String Quartet from our Digital Season Spring 2021. Entire performance available through March 18, 2021 at emeraldcitymusic.org/Babel.

"When words fail, music speaks." The award-winning Calidore String Quartet pairs two quartets recently recorded for their newest album, 'Babel.' These two works by Robert Schumann and Dmitri Shostakovich stem from bleak periods when each composer suffered, and overcame, depression. Their music transmits what occurs when music substitutes for language. In the case of Shostakovich, words aren’t enough to fill the void of forbidden speech. Schumann uses music to sing the name of his wife, Clara.

Filmed in Brooklyn, New York by film director Zac Nicholson.
Audio engineering by Noriko Okabe.


Artists: Calidore String Quartet
Jeffrey Myers (violin), Ryan Meehan (violin), Jeremy Berry (viola), Estelle Choi (cello)
