Penny Quartet

Masterpieces by Bartók and Haydn bookend the Penny Quartet’s Viva Edge offering, providing a study in contrasts. Where Bartók’s Fourth String Quartet has a muscular, driving power, Haydn’s String Quartet in F Major is a diaphanous beauty, akin to a serenade. Both are unforgettable, especially when played by such vibrant musicians.
