Beethoven's String Quartet, Op 131 from the Chaos Quartet in a performance from St George's, Bristol.

Current members of Radio 3's New Generation Artists scheme, the Vienna-based Chaos Quartet, explore one of the summits of the quartet repertoire. Written in 1826, this seven-movement quartet was played to Schubert on his death bed. One of those present observed that: "The King of Harmony has sent the King of Song a friendly bidding to the crossing."
