Mozart K172 Adagio Aros Quartet - full recording go to Picture Gallery THE FESTIVAL 2012 The 2011 festival seems a long time ago, so we should remind ourselves that it was extremely successful and resulted in two programmes lasting two hours each on BBC Radio Scotland and a major spread in the Classic FM Arts magazine. 2012 promises to be another great vintage. In response to requests to play more Mendelssohn, each group will be playing a Mendelssohn quartet and on the last night we will play again Jonathan Cohen’s arrangement of the Hebrides Overture which was written especially for us three years ago. In addition there will be two Haydn quartets, quintets by Mozart and Brahms, and the Italian Serenade by Wolf. In Iona Abbey we will be playing the last of Haydn’s Seven Words from the Cross, along with a selection of slow movements from the week’s repertoire. For me however the highlight will be Schoenberg’s Verklärte Nacht, which will be interpreted this year by Levon’s group. As for our mentors, since Gaby Lester cannot be with us this year, we have been very fortunate that Laura Samuel will join us for the first time. She was formerly with the Belcea Quartet and is now a member of the Nash Ensemble. Apart from Levon, the rest of the team will be Marcia Crayford, Susie Mészarös, and Stephen Orton – all good friends of the festival and well-known to you all Look forward to seeing you all on Mull!
