Tak谩cs Quartet at Wigmore Hall

Live from Wigmore Hall, London. The Takacs Quartet play Haydn, Bartok and Brahms.

Haydn, Bart贸k and Brahms live from London. Wigmore Hall鈥檚 Associate Artists begin their programme with the fourth of Haydn's 'Sun Quartets.' It was this collection that defined the nature of the string quartet for over a hundred years. One of Brahms's first published quartets sees him striving to model each movement on a tiny motif and Bart贸k鈥檚 first quartet mourns an unhappy love affair.

Presented by Ian Skelly.
