BBC Radio 3 - Radio 3 Lunchtime Concert, Wigmore Hall Mondays: Meta4

Finnish quartet Meta4 performs music by Haydn and Schumann at Wigmore Hall, London.

Live from Wigmore Hall, London, a performance by Finnish quartet Meta4. Haydn: String Quartet in C, Op 20 No 2. Schumann: String Quartet in A minor, Op 41 No 1.

Live from Wigmore Hall in London, Haydn's Quartet in C Op 20 No 2 and Schumann's String Quartet in A minor, Op 41 No 1, played by Finnish quartet Meta4. 

Haydn's quartet comes from a set of six published in 1772, which with its conversational dialogues between instruments represented a major milestone in the maturing of a still-young genre. Whereas Haydn composed nearly 80 quartets, Schumann wrote only three, all in the same year of 1842, and all showing a more lyrical and Romantic way of approaching the form.
