With the sad death of the viola player Peter Schidlof three weeks ago, one of the world's greatest string quartets has decided to disband, a few months short of its 40th anniversary.
The Amadeus String Quartet was formed by three refugee Austrian musicians, Norbert Brainin , Siegmund Nissel and Peter Schidlof , who had met in a British internment camp during the Second
World War, and were later joined by the English cellist Martin Lovett. They gave their debut concert in the Wigmore Hall in January 1948 and for the last four decades have established a reputation for excellence, particularly in the Viennese classics. Tonight, in tribute, BBC2 is repeating the last major interview they gave, to Bernard Levin in 1981, followed by a complete performance of one of the masterpieces of the classical quartet repertoire, Mozart's K465, known as The Dissonance.

RKO RADIO PICTURES
Starring Charles Laughton, Maureen O'Hara
Charles Laughton, leading a distinguished cast, gives one of his greatest performances as the grotesquely deformed outcast, Quasimodo - the bellringer of Notre Dame Cathedral - who falls in love with the beautiful gypsy dancer, Esmeralda. Laughton magnificently and movingly conveys Quasimodo's kindness and beauty of character and his superiority as a human being to the handsome worldlings of the court of Louis XI.
This was one of RKO's greatest successes and one of their most lavish and costly films. It is remarkable for the harsh portrayal of the cruelty and poverty of the period.
Screenplay by SONYA LEVIEN and BRUNO FRANK from the novel by VICTOR HUGO Produced by PANDRO s. BERMAN Directed by WILLIAM DIETERLE 0 FILMS: page 19
