Beethoven's String Quartet, Op 131 from the Chaos Quartet in a performance from St George's Bristol.

Current members of Radio 3's New Generation Artists scheme, the Vienna-based Chaos Quartet, explore one of the summits of the quartet repertoire. Written in 1826, this quartet is unique in having seven continuous movements. In 1828 it was played to Schubert on his death bed; one of those present observed that: "The King of Harmony has sent the King of Song a friendly bidding to the crossing."
