Two groundbreaking string quartets
The award-winning Van Kuijk Quartet play Mozart's String Quartet No 15 in D minor, K421, and Felix Mendelssohn's String Quartet No 6 in F minor, Op 80, at St George's Bristol.
Nicola Heywood Thomas presents the first concert in a series given by Radio 3 New Generation Artists and recorded at St. George's Bristol earlier this month. The award-winning Van Kuijk Quartet pair two highly expressive works by Mozart and Mendelssohn. Dedicated to his friend Haydn, Mozart's quartet in D minor has an intriguing, rather restless quality. Separated by more than half a century, Mendelssohn's poignant final quartet reflects his deep sorrow at his sister Fanny's death in 1847.
The Van Kuijk Quartet are former Radio 3 New Generation Artists.
