Never heard of Nikolay Afanasyev or Woldemar Bargiel? That needs to change! Says ROctet, and there’s a good chance you’ll agree with them after their performance on The Field. The gorgeous Russian gem of a double quartet by Afanasyev (1821–1898), the passionate octet by Bargiel (1828-1897, half-brother to Clara Schumann) and the eight top string players of the Radio Philharmonic Orchestra will leave you in a daze of life spirit.
