"Europe in the Age of Enlightenment"

Joseph Haydn (1790) : Quatuor à Cordes Op.77 n°1 (23') 
Felix Mendelssohn (1838) 
: Quatuor à Cordes Op.44 N.1 (30’)

Ludwig van Beethoven (1806) : Quatuor à Cordes Op.59 n°1 (40')



A programme that highlights the very essence of the genre, with three great masterpieces that the Metamorphoses Quartet reinvents by setting them in dialogue with each other, thus recreating, through their music, the artistic conversations of three of the greatest geniuses in the history of music. The influence of the spirit of the Enlightenment on Western classical music underlies this programme as a main common thread. Ideal for discovering the string quartet genre!
