The three family members of this string quartet – Monika, Christoph and Markus Henschel – have been playing together all their lives, and were joined over a decade ago by Mathias Beyer-Karlshøj to form an ensemble that has built an impressive international reputation. At the heart of their wide-ranging recital is the mature masterwork Sibelius wrote between his Third and Fourth Symphonies. Its subdued central movement of gentle yet aching nostalgia gives the quartet its title of 'Intimate Voices'.

Sibelius
String Quartet Op. 56, 'Voces Intimae' (29 mins)
