G minor is always the key of darkness for Mozart, and his string quintet in that key is no exception – a profound masterpiece overcast by brooding shadows.

Beethoven’s late A minor quartet also begins in shadow, searching for the unknowable, but finding its way via a rapt “song of thanksgiving to God for recovery from an illness” into light and spiritual affirmation. An inspiring final journey with the Navarras in Stenton’s lovely old church.

"A buzzingly alive performance by the Navarra String Quartet, precisely tuned, with melodies emerging and receding into the diaphanous textures as if by sleight of hand."

The Guardian

Stenton Parish Church, Stenton

William Burn, pioneer of the Scottish Baronial style, designed many fine buildings in Scotland including St John the Evangelist in Edinburgh's Princes Street.

His splendid little church (1829), Stenton Parish Church, in the tranquil village of Stenton brings St John's to mind with its impressive square tower. Beautifully simple inside, its acoustic is ideal for chamber music.
