The AHE quartet return to Haydn’s Op. 76 with No. 6 in E flat major. It’s often called the Fantasia after its utterly captivating slow movement, but the true sense of the word – the composer’s “fancy” running freely – applies equally to the whole quartet, from the euphoric riffing on a few chords in the first movement, to the finale’s MC Escher-like rhythmic illusions. Guaranteed to tie tapping toes in knots.

Another miracle: Schubert’s sublime Quartet in A minor was 200 years old last year! When you hear it leaping off the page on gut strings, stripped of vibrato-soaked varnish, it’s like a world premiere. The harmonic language of the menuetto alone is literally marvellous: what creative process led him to take a jaded dance-form on such a mysterious and melancholy journey? And the transformation of the Rosamunde theme; again, truly fantastical.
