About

In 2008 the Doric String Quartet won 1st prize in the Osaka International Chamber Music Competition in Japan, 2nd prize at the Premio Paolo Borciani International String Quartet Competition in Italy, where they also received a special mention for their performance of Haydn, and the Ensemble Prize at the Festspiele Mecklenburg-Vorpommern in Germany.

This disc is the quartet’s first commercial CD.

We are incredibly excited about our CD release on the Wigmore Hall Live label. This is our first commercial CD and it is an honour for our debut disk to be on such a prestigious label connected to such a famous concert hall. We are also very pleased to be able to present an all-Haydn disk as Haydn is a composer very close to us. The choice of quartets on the CD is also interesting as they give a glimpse into three different periods. The Op.76 No.1 is a very famous work but it is a pleasure to be able to include two lesser known works. We are very excited by Haydn and relish the opportunity to share this excitement through this release” - Doric String Quartet

Haydn and the Doric are a perfect match. This is an ensemble, young but mature of insight, that plays Haydn's music with spirit, illuminating its blend of wit and sophistication, grace and vivacity, cunning and seemingly effortless spontaneity” - Daily Telegraph

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