This Czech-themed programme is a musical journey through the folkloric and passionate strains of Czech culture, with at its heart Janacek’s first string quartet, the Kreutzer Sonata, named for Leo Tolstoy’s novella of the same title.
In this special programme, the Ragazze Kwartet teams up with raconteur Porgy Franssen, who has adapted Tolstoy’s text for a musical narrative. Interwoven with Janacek’s music, she tells the moving tale of a husband and wife battling love and lust, fidelity and infidelity, jealousy and revenge within a culture in which relationships between men and women balance on a knife-edge.
