Haydn had a wonderful association with London, with his works gaining wide appeal and his visits there giving fruit to numerous career advancements and opportunities. His opus 74/1 reflects the worldly, cosmopolitan style of his later years. The British connection continues with the String Quartet no. 1 of Benjamin Britten (arguably the Empire's finest composer), written in the summer of 1941 here in Southern California, and opens with his teacher Frank Bridge's hauntingly beautiful Three Idylls.
