Painswick Music Society concert, April 16, at St Mary's Church, Painswick
THE Church was packed on Saturday afternoon, with not a seat to spare, to hear a performance of music by Haydn, Mozart and Tchaikovsky played by the Endellion Quartet.
For 37 years this quartet has been playing in concerts in major venues all over the world, and has established a reputation for consistent excellence wherever they went.
It did not disappoint the audience at St Mary’s, as the completion of every piece of music was greeted with loud and long applause.
A quartet by Haydn began the concert followed by one by Mozart and finally after the interval a quartet by Tchaikovsky.
The quartet’s attention to detail, the precision of the playing by every member of the quartet, and the depth and originality of their interpretation of the music, all illustrated why the Endellion Quartet is so admired and sought after.
The concert was dedicated to the memory of the late Beryl Calver-Jones who had long supported many musical events in the area, and she was especially fond of the Endellion Quartet.
When the concert was over the members of the quartet joined some of the audience for a tea in the nearby Church Rooms, so that before they left there was a chance to speak to the players and thank them for the concert.
