On the eve of the 50th anniversary of Benjamin Britten’s death, the Leonkoro Quartet performs the third string quartet, completed in Venice a year before his death.

Haydn’s Op.76 No.5 quartet features a particularly lyrical and heartfelt slow movement. Devastated with grief following the death of his sister Fanny, Mendelssohn’s Op.80 quartet veers between tenderness and anguish and was his final work before his own death.

Haydn                 String Quartet in D major, Op.76, No.5, Hob III: 79
Britten                String Quartet No.3, Op.94
Mendelssohn    String Quartet No.6 in F minor, Op.80

Listen Here...

The Leonkoro Quartet [...] possesses an extraordinary stage presence, glows for the music, embraces full artistic risk, and astounds through their profound sensitivity towards the unique sonority of each piece."
