BBC Radio 3 - Radio 3 Lunchtime Concert, Haydn Plus: Aris Quartet

The Aris Quartet perform music by Haydn and Beethoven at LSO St Luke's in London.

Hannah French presents a concert given by the Aris Quartet of music by Haydn and Beethoven as part of the Haydn Plus series, recorded at LSO St Luke's in London in 2021.

The third of this week's Haydn Plus series of concerts recorded at LSO St Luke's.  Today's concert is given by the hugely talented Germany-based Aris Quartet, which has received some of the most prestigious international awards for young musicians. They perform two pivotal string quartets written at either end of the composers' careers.  The first is by Haydn, written at the end of his long career, the String Quartet Op. 76 no 2, nicknamed the 'Fifths'.  The second work is an earlier quartet, by Haydn's pupil, Beethoven.  

Hannah French introduces this concert, which was recorded at LSO St Luke's in London and first broadcast in 2021, by recent member of the Radio 3 New Generation Artists scheme, the Aris Quartet.
