C12 Classic Hour

Mozart dedicated his lively String Quartet K.458 – nicknamed ‘The Hunt’ for its boisterous first movement – to his friend, Joseph Haydn, the ‘father’ of the string quartet. Upon hearing Mozart’s quartets Haydn in turn was inspired to even greater heights.

Hear Quatuor Van Kuijk perform the music that prompted Haydn to declare Mozart the “greatest composer” he knew, alongside Haydn’s own String Quartet, Op.76. No. 5, written a little over ten years later, performed by Australia’s Alma Moodie Quartet.
