Haydn Programme:
Quartet in C minor, Op.17 No.4
Quartet in E flat, Op.33 No.2 (The Joke)
Quartet in F, Op.77, No.2

The London Haydn Quartet was born out of a shared passion for Haydn’s string quartets, arguably the most significant - and attractive - single body of work in the entire chamber music repertoire. Playing on gut strings with classical bows, the Quartet will open the season with a complete Haydn programme. They start with one of the early quartets which they have recorded to great critical acclaim – “superlative Haydn, present in all his many colours” (The Strad) and end with his last complete quartet, described by Sir Donald Tovey as “perhaps Haydn’s greatest instrumental composition.”
