Michelangelo Quartet III

Haydn String Quartet in B flat, Op 76 No 4, ‘Sunrise’
Bartók String Quartet No 1
Beethoven String Quartet in C, Op 59 No 3, ‘Rasumovsky’

Michelangelo String Quartet

The last of the Michelangelo Quartet’s programmes begins with one of Haydn’s masterly Op 76 quartets, nicknamed ‘Sunrise’ because of the magical rising violin theme that opens it. The concert ends radiantly with Beethoven’s third ‘Rasumovsky’ Quartet, sometimes nicknamed ‘Eroica’. Béla Bartók’s first quartet was strongly influenced by Beethoven and moves from the darkness of grief to the sunlight of a scintillating finale.

“A truly impressive performance… one of the best concerts I have attended in the year.”
