Wigmore Hall 125: Belcea Quartet and Tabea Zimmermann

As part of Wigmore Hall’s 125th Anniversary Festival, the Belcea Quartet are joined by viola player Tabea Zimmermann in string quintets by Mozart and Brahms.

The Belcea Quartet, regular at Wigmore Hall for more than 25 years, is joined by Tabea Zimmermann to perform Mozart's G minor Quintet in company with Brahms's String Quintet in F Op. 88, another titanic monument of the chamber music repertoire.

Described a century ago as ‘one of the most profound of all his works,’ that verdict will surely ring true in the hands of Tabea Zimmermann and the Belcea Quartet.

Broadcast live and presented by Ian Skelly.

Mozart: String Quintet in G minor K.516
Brahms: String Quintet in F Op. 88
