Former Radio 3 New Generation Artist, Annelien Van Wauwe, joins current NGAs, the Leonkoro Quartet, for this concert of chamber music by Haydn, Mozart and Brahms, from Bath's MozartFest.

Haydn's good humour is to the fore in the outer movements of his Quartet Op 50 No 5, but it's the reflective 2nd movement which gives rise to the quartet's nickname 'The Dream'. The Leonkoro quartet bring their trademark freshness and vitality to this, and Mozart's Quartet No 23, which features some interesting cello writing, intended to charm its dedicatee: amateur cellist, King Friedrich Wilhelm II of Prussia. After the interval, they are joined by clarinettist, Annelien Van Wauwe for the dark and melancholy Clarinet Quintet by Brahms - a product of the Brahms's extraordinary late burst of creativity, at the end of his career.

Recorded at Bath Assembly Rooms on 16th November 2024
