Bedrich Smetana String Quartet No. 1 in E minor "From My Life" The composition of the first string quartet From My Life was preceded by a period of fateful changes in Smetana's life। In 1874 he lost his hearing। Two years later he moved with his family to Jabkenice in the countryside, which seemed to him like an expulsion; he suffered from his deafness and missed contact with like-minded company. He presented the string quartet as a conversation within a close circle of four friends who discuss what is tormenting them. It is a kind of passionate and resigned dialogue between a spirited person and his destiny.
Franz Schubert 'Trout' Quintet in A major for violin, viola, cello, double bass, and piano, D667, composed in summer 1819 during an excursion to Upper Austria. The title is so called because the fourth of the five movements is a set of variations on his song The Trout/Die Forelle, D550, (1817).
Founded in 2005, Quarto Quartet is one of the most successful Bulgarian ensembles for classical and contemporary chamber music. Eventually, the ensemble expanded to include a clarinet and a contrabass, which made it capable of performing versatile concert programs combining works for trios, string and piano quartets and quintets. Currently, the ensemble consists of Ivan Penchev (violin), Svetlana Stancheva (violin), Tatyana Todorova (viola), Dimitar Tenchev (cello), Hristo Kazakov (piano) and Atanas Iliev (clarinet). Quarto Quartet is an official partner of the Sofia Philharmonic Orchestra.
The main characteristics of Quarto Quartet’s signature style are compelling dramaturgical concepts, remarkable expressivity and unique scenic presence. Facebook Page: Quarto Quartet - The chamber musicians of Sofia
