“With musicians like this there must be some hope for humanity”: a striking recommendation from The Times for the Emerson String Quartet, this year celebrating its 35th anniversary and widely recognised as America’s leading quartet. The Emersons provide an ideal start to the festival with two of Mozart’s mellifluous “Prussian” quartets, followed by the profound, many-sided late work which Beethoven valued most highly of all his quartets.
