Bartok Plus from LSO St Luke's in London with the Brodsky Quartet

The Brodsky Quartet play Bartok's String Quartet No 1 alongside Debussy's celebrated String Quartet, the first in a cycle of Bartok's string quartets from LSO St Luke's in London.

Fiona Talkington presents the first in Radio 3's Bartok Plus series, in which we experience all six of Bartok's string quartets alongside works that both influenced the composer's own compositional evolution and chart his journey from Hungary to America. Today, the Brodsky Quartet draw upon the early influence of Debussy on Bartok, and particularly the influence of the French master's impressionism in the 1907 String Quartet on Bartok's 1st String Quartet.
