Young string quartet strike a sensitive chord
Should musicians speak out about social issues? Castalian String Quartet’s young members certainly think so! They bring us Charlotte Bray’s Ungrievable Lives, thirteen miniatures for string quartet, each representing a million refugee children. This is set against the vivid, shifting moods of Britten's String Quartet no. 1 and the murmuring 'inner voices' Sibelius penned during a difficult period. These voices meander between gloomy introspection and – as Sibelius wrote to his wife – ‘the kind that raise a smile on oneʼs face even at the moment of death’.
