Savannah Music Festival LIVE - 247 - Emerson String Quartet 2008
Robert Schumann was the first Romantic composer to pair the piano with the string quartet, although this formula has since been used by composers such as Dvorak, Brahms, and countless others. The Emerson String Quartet with Wu Han personifies this revolution in the chamber music idiom wonderfully. In this episode we listen to them perfrom works by Schumann, Debussy, and Shostakovich.
