The spellbinding Brentano Quartet celebrates great string quartets old and new in an imaginative recital. Beethoven’s opus 130 is one of the most ambitious and inventive works in the medium, and contains one of his loveliest slow movements. The programme also features Haydn’s melodious and playful «Bird» Quartet, and two poignant elegies by contemporary Scottish composer James MacMillan.
