FOOTE: Piano Quintet Op. 38 / String Quartets Opp. 32 and 70

Arthur Foote, stylistically and musically, was America’s link to Europe. His music, which is striking, original and often passionate reminds us, at times, of Mendelssohn, Schumann, Tchaikovsky, Dvorak and Brahms.

The Da Vinci Quartet, partnered with James Barbagallo, present a comprehensive and spirited interpretation of Foote’s chamber music masterpieces.
