Overview
Mozart’s early String Quartet in C, written while the teenaged composer was working on his opera Lucio Silla for Milan, and mature Haydn form the first half of this recital.
The period instruments, long experience and revelatory musicianship of the Quatuor Mosaïques are sure to offer fresh perspectives on both works and reconnect with the radical nature of Brahms’s String Quartet in A minor, a composition of striking contrasts and remarkable coherence.
