Quatuor Mosaïques play Beethoven and Haydn at the Lammermuir Festival.

Kate Molleson presents the first of four Lunchtime Concerts from the award-winning Lammermuir Festival. Recorded during the festival’s 10th anniversary year and featuring their resident artists, Quatuor Mosaïques, these concerts take Beethoven’s ‘Razumovsky’ quartets as their backbone and compliment them with works by Haydn and Mozart.  
The series starts with Beethoven’s String Quartet in F minor Op 95, which was the last of his middle period quartets that included the three ‘Razumovsky’ quartets.  The ‘Serioso’ was a compact and daring composition for the time, one that hinted at the direction Beethoven was to take in his late quartets. 
The Lunchtime Concert begins, suitably enough, with a sunrise; the solo violin gently rises from the introductory chord of Haydn’s ever-popular String Quartet Op 76, No 4.
