BBC Radio 3 - Radio 3 Lunchtime Concert, The Doric String Quartet in Haydn and Beethoven

From Wigmore Hall, the Doric Quartet and violist Brett Dean play Haydn and Beethoven.

From Wigmore Hall, the Doric Quartet play Haydn's Prussian Quartet in F, 'Dream', and Beethoven's early Quintet in C, for which they are joined by Brett Dean on viola.

From Wigmore Hall. Another chance to hear the Doric String Quartet play one of Haydn's Prussian quartets and an early quintet by Beethoven, for which they are joined by the viola player and composer Brett Dean.  

Celebrating their 25th anniversary this year, the UK-based Doric String Quartet enjoy a busy international career and here they bring their trademark sophistication to Haydn's 'Dream' quartet. Written in 1787, it owes its nickname to the gently moving chords of the slow movement. That is followed by the 'Storm' quintet by Beethoven - his only original string quintet and a work unfairly overshadowed by those of Mozart and Schubert.   

Presented by Martin Handley.
