Beethoven’s mastery was clear even in his First Quartet, with its verve, wit and harmonic exploration. The much later Ninth, nicknamed “Eroica” because of its inspiring Finale, shows the expansion of his world of dissonance and intensity of colour. The two are complemented and contrasted by a rare opportunity to hear the English composer-pianist Freda Swain’s “Norfolk” Quartet – a work of beauty and energy.
