Doric String Quartet

Penny Gore presents a concert given at the 2012 Hay Festival by the Doric String Quartet. Haydn: String Quartet No 1 in C, Op 64. Britten: String Quartet No 2 in C, Op 36.

In a recital from St Mary's Church at Hay-on-Wye, the Doric String Quartet perform two contrasting works including the bright and cheerful String Quartet opus 64 no.1 in C major by Joseph Haydn, which he began in his final few months employed at Eszterh谩za Castle. The final work is the second String Quartet by Benjamin Britten, composed as a contribution to the celebrations marking the 250th Anniversary of the death of Henry Purcell.
