The Festival Players

The stage, very full for the delightful and undeservedly neglected septet by Franz Berwald, gradually empties as our second evening concert progresses. The Vaughan-Williams piano quintet is also a newcomer to the Festival. Composed between 1903-5, it was greatly influence by our final composer, Brahms. His A major quartet is one of his finest works, infrequently programmed because of its length. It too is a first at the festival, completing our survey of Brahms’ wonderful piano quartets.
