Live from Wigmore Hall, London.

Introduced by Fiona Talkington.

The Jerusalem Quartet play Haydn and Bartók.

Since its foundation in 1996, the ensemble has attracted a loyal following, notably at Wigmore Hall, where last season it performed the cycle of Bartók’s six quartets. Here, it repeats the Fourth alongside an example by Haydn, whose opening movement makes frequent use of a motif based on perfect fifths – hence its nickname.
