The Nash Ensemble’s renowned string players present Haydn’s much-loved ‘Sunrise’ Quartet, so called because of its gently rising opening theme, a work infused with the bold gestures and effects he cultivated during his time in London.

The ensemble is joined by its long-serving clarinettist Richard Hosford in Brahms’s autumnal chamber masterwork. Brahms created his Clarinet Quintet in B minor to suit the burnished playing of Richard Mühlfeld, who first introduced the composition to London audiences in the 1890s.
