Clemency Burton-Hill takes us on a journey through 50 years of BBC archive to celebrate the beautiful and varied world of the string quartet. Various styles and venues, from mansions to helicopters, have hosted performances by world-renowned ensembles like the Amadeus, Chilingirian, Borodin, and Kronos quartets. From Haydn in the 18th century to modern composers like Steve Reich, Elvis Costello, and Pete Townshend, classical music has come a long way.
