Doric Quartet

Radio 3 Lunchtime Concert New Town Concerts
Episode 1 of 4

Kate Molleson presents the Doric Quartet in concert at the Queen's Hall in Edinburgh. Haydn: String Quartet in C, Op 64 No 1. Bartok: String Quartet No 2.

The New Town Concerts were set up in 1965 to counteract the '49 weeks of darkness' between annual Edinburgh International Festivals. Kate Molleson presents the first of four concerts from The Queen's Hall in Edinburgh. The Doric Quartet perform Haydn's first quartet in the Op 64 set which was dedicated to his old friend Johann Tost who was formerly the lead second violin in his orchestra at Esterhazy. Bartok's second of six masterpieces for the string quartet was conceived at the outbreak of World War I and the inherent violent and desolate moods can only be a response to the war in Europe.
