The Carducci Quartet play Haydn and, with Clare Hammond, Schumann's Piano Quintet.

The Carducci Quartet play Haydn's 'Sunrise' quartet and, with pianist Clare Hammond, Schumann's Piano Quintet. Introduced from St David's Hall, Cardiff, by Nicola Heywood Thomas.

Recorded at St David's Hall earlier this year, in the second in this week's recitals from Cardiff the Carducci Quartet play Haydn's "Sunrise" quartet, so called for its evocative opening, followed by Schumann's sparkling Piano Quintet, with Clare Hammond taking on the virtuosic piano part. Written with his concert pianist wife Clara Wieck in mind, after some adjustments suggested by Mendelssohn, it was Wieck who gave the public premiere in 1843. 

Introduced by Nicola Heywood Thomas.
