    Overview

The Brentano String Quartet, hailed by The Independent for its ‘passionate, uninhibited and spellbinding’ performances, opens with Mozart’s lyrical ‘Hunt’ Quartet, named for the horn-call character of its opening theme, before exploring the tightly woven construction of Bartók’s Third String Quartet and the Romantic contrasts of Brahms’s Op. 67.
