| Haydn String Quartets opus 54 | ||
|---|---|---|
|
Haydn's masterful opus 54 quartets complete. Written for virtuoso violinist and friend of Haydn's Johann Tost, these quartets feature florid and virtuosic writing for all four parts - truly a conversation between four musical voices. -"These are fascinating works, and the players respond intelligently to ideas that must have startled the more conventional Parisians...This is good Haydn playing." International Record Review, June 2010 -"These are performances to treasure and one awaits eagerly the next release from the ensemble's new label." Classical Music Magazine - 4* review -"This young quartet is a revelation, playing with a mastery which is quite stunning. These three quartets are superbly performed and brilliantly recorded. They are amongst the best ever recordings of Haydn Quartets." Bob Briggs - MusicWeb International - RECORDING OF THE MONTH - read the review -"There is a concentration on the detailed changes of character of the music as it evolves, and a clear headedness about the performances that is both invigorating and involving... Quartet playing and music of this quality is rare on disc, which rises well above the routine or merely adequate." John Sheppard, MusicWeb International - read the review |
