It wasn’t until another Leipzig composer, Felix Mendelssohn, led a revival of Bach’s music that it began to attain such universal appreciation and admiration. In this programme, Diderot String Quartet performs excerpts from The Art of the Fugue with Mendelssohn’s rarely heard Fugue for string quartet, op. 81/4, a beautiful nod to Bach, and his beloved String Quartet No. 2, op. 13, which pays homage to the baroque master in its own fugal ways. This event is a collaboration with the Friends of Chamber Music.
