Michelangelo Quartet in Haydn: Quartet, Op 76 No 4 (Sunrise) and Bartok: Quartet No 1.

Music from the 2015 Lammermuir Festival. The Michelangelo Quartet performs Haydn's String Quartet, Op 76 No 4 (Sunrise), and Bartok's String Quartet No 1.

The Michelangelo Quartet made up of four distinguished soloists perform two of the finest works written for the genre. The so-called 'Sunrise' quartet shows Haydn in his most mature style which explores thematic connections between movements and Bartok's astonishingly virtuosic first quartet, inspired at least in part by a situation of unrequited love and angst.
