The Consone Quartet play Haydn and Mendelssohn at the Cheltenham Festival.

Radio 3 New Generation Artists The Consone Quartet play Haydn and Mendelssohn, live at the 2021 Cheltenham Music Festival. Introduced by Nicola Heywood Thomas.

Live from Cheltenham Town Hall, Radio 3 New Generation Artists the Consone Quartet play quartets by Haydn and Mendelssohn as part of this year's annual music festival. Favourites of Mozart's, the six quartets Haydn composed in 1781 and published as his opus 33 set, are brimming with charm, characteristic wit and invention. Way ahead of its time, No 4 has an especially moving slow movement. The String Quartet in E flat major, Op. 44, No. 3 of 1838 came at a particularly happy moment in Mendelssohn's life, and reflects his appreciation for the classical forms of Haydn and Mozart.
