The Gores entered their newly-finished home in 1806. At around the same time, Juan Cristósomo Arriaga was born in Spain. His genius was such that he came to be called the ‘Spanish Mozart.’ In Vienna, Ludwig van Beethoven was coming to terms with his near-total deafness, and resolved to carry on expressing his unique and historic voice, initiating what has come to be known as his middle period. This triumph over adversity can be heard in many works from this time, not least the first string quartet of his Op. 59, known as the ‘Razumovsky Quartets.’ L'Armonia Boston, the ensemble-in-residence at Gore Place, performs this and the third quartet by Arriaga. Hear the Withdrawing Room at Gore Place reverberate with string instruments as they would have sounded in 1806, performed by renowned specialists in historically-informed performance, some making their Boston-area debut!
