The farewell album of the retiring Emerson Quartet will include the day the music died – when Arnold Schoenberg topped over into atonality in his second string quartet in December 1908.

The soloist will be Barbara Hannigan.

Other signature works on the Emerson disc will be the Berg quartet opus 3, Hindemith’s Mélancholie and Chausson’s Chanson perpétuelle.
