Of this internationally acclaimed Hungarian ensemble on a previous visit to Scotland, a critic wrote: "They rise effortlessly above terrifying technical demands to produce eloquent and forthright music. Their ensemble playing is perfection itself". The programme includes three quartets, each with some folk influence but otherwise worlds apart: Haydn in E flat Op. 64 No.6, Bartok No. 4 and Brahms B flat Op. 67. To these riches is added Liszt's own quartet version of his "Angelus." This is great music in an inspiring venue, Cairns Church in Milngavie, which combines spaciousness with intimacy and warmth of sound.
