Our Take

Ah, what a delightful romp through the whimsical world of Haydn's string quartets! This compilation of some of his finest works, including the ever-popular "La Chasse" quartet, is a treasure trove for classical music enthusiasts.

Op.1 No.1 sets the tone with its energetic and playful melodies, evoking images of a merry hunt through the countryside. The quartet's seamless blend of instruments creates a rich tapestry of sound that is both charming and sophisticated.

Moving on to Op.20 Nos. 2 & 5, Haydn's genius shines through in the intricate interplay between the four instruments. The dynamic shifts and unexpected twists keep the listener on their toes, making for a truly engaging listening experience.

Op.50 No.3 is a standout track on this album, with its soul-stirring melodies and complex harmonies showcasing Haydn's mastery of the genre. The quartet's impeccable timing and precision make each note sing with emotion and depth.

Finally, Op.54 Nos. 1-3 round out the album with their lively rhythms and lively motifs. Haydn's ability to blend humour and drama seamlessly in his compositions is on full display here, leaving the listener captivated from start to finish.

Overall, this album is a must-listen for anyone looking to explore the beauty and complexity of classical music. Haydn's string quartets have never sounded better, thanks to the masterful performances captured on this recording. So grab a cup of tea, sit back, and let the music transport you to a bygone era of elegance and grace. Cheers to that, old chap!
