QUATUOR MOSAÏQUES

Haydn has been credited with inventing the string quartet, and serves as the central figure of this all-Viennese programme in which two quartets composed and dedicated to him by Mozart are appropriately paired with a third quartet by Haydn himself.

Founded in 1985, the Austrian Quatuor Mosaïques is considered as one of the most prominent string quartets performing on period instruments today. The ensemble specializes in the works of the Viennese Classical masters.
