Britten’s String Quartet No.1 is a very strong work, brilliantly laid out for the instruments, full of good tunes, not afraid to smile and display a sense of fun – the second movement march is especially comical – but still having time to see into space, the ethereal harmonics which fill the first movement. The Bridge Quartet realised every nuance to perfection.
