Programme Note
The London Haydn Quartet, founded in 2000, applies historically informed performance practices to the full range of works in its wide repertoire.
The quartet’s use of gut strings and classical bows helps to elicit the subtle gradations of tone colour and inflections familiar to musicians and audiences of the past. The ensemble explores works by Haydn and Dvořák, the latter infused with the distinctive flavours of Slavic folksong.
