Temescal Quartet presents Beethoven, Barber and Mendelssohn
Members of the San Francisco Opera and Ballet Orchestras present three string quartet masterpieces:
Samuel Barber, Adagio
Ludwig van Beethoven, String Quartet, op. 59 #1
Felix Mendelssohn, String Quartet in A minor, op. 13
The young Mendelssohn drew inspiration from the late quartets of Beethoven, as is evidenced in his quartet, op. 13, composed when he was 18. Barber's Adagio is offered in recognition of the composer's centennial year.
