BROOKLYN RIDER
Music for String Quartet by Ligeti, Ustvolskaya, and Schubert
Inspired by the interplay of light and darkness, the new program of New York–based string quartet Brooklyn Rider is another testament to the ensemble’s adventurous spirit in combining the well-known with the unusual. Works by Galina Ustvolskaya and György Ligeti create a stark contrast with Hildegard von Bingen’s 1000-year-old antiphon Caritas abundat in omnia (Love abounds in everything), which serves as a prelude to Schubert’s great G-major Quartet, a masterwork of musical chiaroscuro.
