Joseph Haydn ‘Sunrise’ String Quartet

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Horn Quintet

Johannes Brahms String Quartet No. 1 in C minor

Joseph Haydn earned himself the nickname ‘father of the string quartet’, writing 68 of them in total, and the Sunrise is one of his best – bright, joyful and heart-warming.

Johannes Brahms’ first string quartet is a little less sunny but no less impressive, with an intense drama that’ll have you on the edge of your seat.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart adds a French horn to the line-up and gives them a virtuosic showstopper of a finale to really show off their skills.
