About the Performance
Haydn is often credited with inventing the string quartet. His works in this form demonstrate an extraordinary technical and emotional range as well as great humour and wit.
Originally written for orchestra, his Seven Last Words of our Saviour on the Cross for string quartet is an empassioned, poignant contrast to the usual verve and energy of his string quartets.
Performing on period instruments, Quatuor Mosaïques are respected throughout the world for their thoughtful and authentic interpretations of Haydn's chamber music.
