IPO Richter String Quartet
"It is a terrible irony" wrote Vladimir Ashkenazy, "that so much suffering and torment bequeathed us so much wonderful music".
Following the death, in 1875, of Ferdinand Laub, the violinist who had led the first performances of his two previous quartets, Tchaikovsky experienced a creative surge that led to the third quartet. After an enthusiastic reception to a performance in Moscow, Tchaikovsky said: "I think I am all written-out ... I've begun to repeat myself and can't come up with anything new".
If it was not painful to see a creator if his calibre be torn apart by constant lack of self-confidence, it would almost be ironic, since this is probably the strongest and most intense of his quartets - the masterpiece of the genre.
