Description
Liberty, enthusiasm and sharing: that might well be the motto of the Kitgut Quartet (named for the 'kitgut' or catgut strings it uses), which brings together four outstanding soloists, all of them members of the leading period-instrument European ensembles. This recording, devoted to Haydn and England (Purcell, Locke, Blow), explores the origins of the string quartet via a number of carefully chosen gems. A journey through time with plenty of surprises in store.
