“It’s a work carved out of living flesh. I’ll never write a truer one”.
He was 73; she was 35. Both were married. But Leoš Janačék wasn’t going to let that stop him expressing his love – and the energy, the freshness and the raw, hot-blooded passion of his Intimate Letters quartet has been leaving audiences gasping for breath ever since. That’s the pounding heart of this adults-only concert which opens with a “full-blooded” homage to Janačék, specially written for the Coull by the English romantic Peter Seabourne, and ends in the glowing Czech countryside of Dvorak’s very loveliest string quartet. Bring someone special.
