Possibly the greatest achievements in twentieth-century chamber music, Bartok's six string quartets possess immense qualities, both of intellect and emotion. This programme investigates their structure and shows how Bartok's imagination constantly explored new ways of achieving unity, conciseness, and subtlety.
Tonight's Workshop ends with a complete performance of the Fourth Quartet.
The Vegh String Quartet: Sandor Vegh (violin), Sandor Zoldy (violin), Georges Janzer (viola), Paul Szabo (cello)
(The Vegh String Quartet play Bartok's First Quartet on Wednesday, 10.40 p.m., on BBC-1 - not Wales)
