Britten: Three Divertimenti; Haas: String Quartet No 2 'From the Monkey Mountains'; Beethoven: String Quartet in F Op 59 No 1

The second string quartet by Pavel Haas From the Monkey Mountains takes its title from a nickname for the Czech highlands. Deeply influenced by Haas’s mentor and teacher, Leoš Janáček, the work depicts the atmosphere and landscapes of his homeland.

Britten’s youthful Divertimenti and the first of Beethoven’s great Razumovsky quartets demonstrate this youthful quartet’s immense versatility and virtuosity.

‘a unique mix of impeccable technique and warm, interactive ensemble playing’ (The Scotsman)
