Birds, books and plays: The Callino Quartet play Haydn, Janáček and Schubert at St George's Bristol

Dark Dvořák, light Haydn with the Takács Quartet

This was a short BBC Radio 3 Lunchtime Concert, but a very good one. Of course, nothing less would be expected from the Takács Quartet, who surely have a very good claim to be the world's foremost string quartet. Even if only for a sold-out hour, all the characteristics which make them great were amply on show here.
