The Leighton String Quartet:

Tchaikovsky's String Quartet in D, Op. 11, was written in February, 1871, and first performed on March 28 of that year at a concert given with the deliberate purpose of raising money for a holiday. It was necessary to arouse interest by a new work ; Tchaikovsky could not afford to engage an orchestra ; so despite his faint dislike of chamber music in general, he decided on a quartet.
Although produced in such unfavourable circumstances, the Quartet is not only beautifully written but has for its slow movement one of the most popular quartet pieces ever written: the famous andante cantabile, based on a beautiful Russian folk melody.
