East Meets West

This is the second of Teddington Summer Music's summer concerts (the other concerts are on 2nd and 23rd June).

In this enticing programme, the sensuous and exotic sounds of the East are contrasted with two masterworks from the Austro-German tradition. Glazunov’s dreamy and reflective Rêverie orientale is paired with one of the best loved of all string quartets, in which Borodin combines magical sonorities with wholehearted emotion and wonderful lyricism. After the interval one of Haydn’s most passionate and inventive quartets is followed by Weber’s dramatic and ebullient Clarinet Quintet.
