This beautiful programme spans 300 years and includes the drama of the great Schubert quartet. 

John Dowland wrote seven variations on his song Flow, My Tears for a five-part consort. These gorgeous tunes highlighted ground-breaking counterpoint and we hear the first, Lachrimae Antiquae.  Schubert’s Overture was written at fourteen years and reveals a musical imagination that would soon come to bloom. Two delightful dances illuminate the programme book-ending Ruth Crawford Seeger’s mesmerising Andante for Strings.  Air and Dance by Delius is a simple-textured piece in one movement with the Dance evolving naturally out of the Air. Debussy’s shimmering and sensuous Danse Sacrée et danse profane is one of the finest works for harp and strings. The concert climaxes with Schubert’s Death and the Maiden, as death’s shadow stalks the composer, this iconic work combined with the sheer energy of ICO’s music-making, touches the heart.      

“A virtuoso technique married to a musical mind that won’t take anything for granted. Zehetmair seems to find answers where other musicians don’t even see questions …” Andrew McGregor, BBC Radio 3

“The gifted members of the Irish Chamber Orchestra sound equally at home..throwing themselves into the fray with a no-holds-barred spontaneous abandonment that captures the music as if spellbound by its dazzling inventiveness”. Julian Haycock BBC Music Magazine
