Consone Quartet play Haydn and late Mendelssohn
The Consone Quartet play Haydn String Quartet in D, 'Frog', and Mendelssohn's deeply moving String Quartet in F minor, written after the unexpected death of his sister Fanny.
Sarah Walker introduces the last concert in a series curated by former Radio 3 New Generation Artists, the Consone Quartet. First broadcast in June 2021, the recital was recorded at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama in Cardiff in April the same year. The period ensemble play Haydn's quartet op 50 no 6, which has attracted the nick-name the Frog for the rasping effects Haydn created in the last movement, and Mendelssohn's moving expression of grief, written after the unexpected death of his beloved sister Fanny in 1847, his String Quartet in F minor, op 80.
