String Quartet No. 3 in G major, Op 94

Available for over a year

Written in Britten's last year of life, this is music stripped to the bone. Every string seems over-wound with music full of unresolved tension. Perhaps he's saying, 'I must go, but not yet.' Composer: Benjamin Britten Performers: Elias Quartet Recording date: 04 July 2010 Date of broadcast: 20 August 2011
