Haydn String Quartet Op.54 No.1 in G
Bartók String Quartet No. 5
Beethoven String Quartet Op.127 in E flat
The Op.54 set suggests strongly that Haydn’s main focus when composing quartets had moved from the players to the audience. (Though this doesn’t make them any less fun to play!) Bartók’s fifth quartet ranges from the almost barbaric to some of the most yearningly beautiful music ever written. Op.127 is the most lyrical of Beethoven’s late quartets containing a set of variations which never fails to amaze with its breathtaking beauty and invention.
