HAYDN: String Quartets - Doric String Quartet

Doric String Quartet
Alex Redington violin
Jonathan Stone violin
Simon Tandree viola
John Myerscough cello

The Doric’s performances, without exaggeration but with just the right degree of elucidation, revealed the music’s extraordinary originality and the way that Haydn can explore the potential of his thematic material so thoroughly yet so artlessly.

"Unequivocally, these were performances of terrific panache and perception, seeming to get right under the skin of Haydn’s creative genius." Rating: ***** The Daily Telegraph
