Edinburgh Quartet: Storm and Stress

‘Storm and Stress’ is the second in a series of performance projects created by the Edinburgh Quartet. ‘Storm and Stress’ derives from the loose translation of the German ‘Sturm und Drang’ movement of the eighteenth century, where passionate expression was given free rein in literature, but also in music with works by Haydn and Mozart at the forefront. The Edinburgh Quartet performs a typical Sturm und Drang work by Haydn alongside masterworks inspired by extremes of expression by Bartók and Grieg.
