THE FULL SCORE WITH LIZ NOLAN

Broadcast Details: Monday 10th July, 1.00pm

Our first concert of the week comes from the National String Quartet Foundation. The ConTempo Quartet begin with two Irish string quartets, Ina Boyle's lovely E minor Quartet, written in Enniskerry in 1934, and a new piece by Galway's Jane O'Leary.

Brahms’ sunny, uplifting B flat major quartet was written in 1875 while he enjoyed a summer holiday in the beautiful German town of Ziegelhausen and it was to become his favourite of his three published quartets.  Liz Nolan presents a showcase of unabridged musical masterworks, featuring live recordings of Irish and international performers, plus selections from the latest CD releases.
