At first glance, little seems to unite the three string quartets by Joly Braga Santos, António Pinho Vargas and Dmitri Shostakovich proposed in this recital. However, it is more what unites them than what separates them. Written just three years apart (1957 and 1960), the quartets by Braga Santos and Shostakovich reveal a turning point in the work of their authors: the Portuguese composer towards rougher and more stripped-down music, and the Soviet composer towards his last quartets, pieces of immense expressive concentration and autobiographical content. António Pinho Vargas, whose music shares with Shostakovich’s a certain tragic pathos, pathos that denotes an existential restlessness unique in recent Portuguese music, will introduce us to his 5th Quartet, thus confirming himself as the modern Portuguese composer most significant when it comes to this genre of chamber music.
