Exquisite Haydn and Mendelssohn from the Quatuor Ébène in Verbier

David Allen, 2nd August

Trust Haydn to provide the music for by far the most engrossing performance I heard at the Verbier Festival. Once again, having heard his music played with verve and appreciation by keen musicians, one wondered why more Haydn is not heard in concert, whether as symphonies, piano sonatas, or string quartets.
