Haydn: String Quartet in G minor Op. 74 No. 3 'Rider'

Tak谩cs Quartet

Haydn's Op. 74 quartets, written for the 1793 London concert season, are shot through with appealing melodies and intricate thematic developments, while Shostakovich's Third String Quartet offers a searing lament for the victims of tyranny. Composed in 1946, its five moments allude to wartime experience, moving from "Blithe ignorance of the future cataclysm" to "The eternal question: Why? And for what?".
