Quartet No. 1 in D major, Op 11

Available for over a year

The string quartet is a self-examination by composers; they're putting themselves to the test. In three sections Tchaikovsky's well in control. However, in the other - a slow 'folk tune' - he's inspired! Composer: Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky Performers: Calidore String Quartet Recording date: 20 May 2017 Date of broadcast: 05 August 2017
