Haydn and Shostakovich

The Carducci String Quartet plays works by Haydn and Shostakovich.

Live from the Wigmore Hall: the Carducci String Quartet plays works by Haydn and Shostakovich.

The nickname for Haydn鈥檚 Op. 33 No. 2 comes from the composer wrong-footing his audience, especially in its sequence of false endings. The Carducci String Quartet combine it here with Shostakovich鈥檚 Ninth String Quartet, influenced by the famous gallop from Rossini鈥檚 William Tell Overture.
