Alan Coady, 11th October

Dr Roger B. Williams’ scholarly yet accessible programme notes highlighted the fact that Haydn’s 1793 String Quartet no. 57 in C major was, unlike some chamber music, written with an audience of the general public in mind. Call it biographical fallacy, but I felt I could hear this in the presentation of the opening bars.
