ENDELLION STRING QUARTET University of Cambridge ‘Resident Quartet’
String Quartet No 6 in D Op 33 – (Franz) Joseph Haydn String Quartet No 14 in A flat Op 105 – Antonn Dvork String Quintet with Cambridge University Student (TBC)
Haydn’s Op. 33 is followed by the first of Bartok’s six great quartets. He was one of the great quartet composers of the 20th century and his quartets are a monument to his strong individual and utterly compelling voice. Dvorak’s ‘American’ quartet is one of the most charming and melodious pieces in the repertoire – a great favourite with players and audiences.

‘The Endellion is arguably the finest quartet in Britain’ – The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians
‘Intonation, balance, rhythmic precision, subtleties of dynamics and colour: all were unimpeachable …. Special glory lay in the Endellions’ light conversational tone. From the very first bar, every rhythmic nicety took on a lilt and sparkle. Graceful sighs, filigree dancing and jumping-jack rhythms dominated the middle movements. In the finale, melancholy weighed in on cue, but nothing could shake the music’s smile. A lovely performance’ – The Times
‘The Endellion Quartet’s fastidious and elegant playing … every movement delivered with energy, musical insight and a good deal of wry humour’ – BBC Music Magazine
