“Decadent and dripping with passion†– that’s how Barbara Hannigan describes tonight’s programme of late romanticism. Love, loss and longing abound in these pieces infused with deeply rich harmonies and sensuous orchestral textures, culminating in Schoenberg’s iconic Second String Quartet which marked his musical journey from tradition towards the beckoning intrigues of dissonance.
