Saturday evening brings the Razumovsky Academy students together to perform chamber music with cellist Oleg Kogan of the Razumovsky Ensemble in what promises to be a remarkable evening. The second half of the concert will feature Schubert’s wonderful C major String Quintet, which will conclude this extraordinary evening of music making.
Quote
‘The sound of Oleg Kogan’s Guarneri cello of 1693 is heaven enough just by itself’
The Times
‘Hearing the Razumovsky Ensemble in action is rather like observing a fleet of Aston Martins performing synchronised manoeuveres on a perfect race track… They brought irresistible zest and poetry with the most poised of phrasing … while the vivacity, rhythmic definition and sheer passion of the whole were out of this world. This was a phenomenal evening.’
