Product-Information:
Haydn’s String Quartets Op 17 were written during his most effusively productive period, during his tenure in the service of the Esterházy family. He had a magnificent group of musicians at his disposal, including the young virtuoso violinist Luigi Tomasini, whose genius can be traced throughout these works, particularly in the achingly beautiful melodies of the adagio movements. These string quartets mark Haydn’s emergence as an indisputably great composer. They have a seriousness of intent and an increasing mastery of rhetoric and thematic development that are a world away from the lightweight divertimento-quartets that he was formerly producing.
They are performed here on period instruments by the dazzling London Haydn Quartet, whose disc of the Op 9 quartets drew the most extravagant praise from the critics. Their second disc has been eagerly awaited, and comes as part of Hyperion’s celebrations of ‘Haydn year’.
Rezensionen
'These superb LHQ performances set the standard for Haydn interpretation, yet the two CDs are available for the price of one' (MusicWeb. com)
'Playing with gut strings and classical bows, the London Haydn Quartet bring both freshness and depth to the six works that the composer wrote at Esterhazy in 1771' (The Daily Telegraph)
'This splendid recording … Catherine Manson brings a nice rubato to the violin's flight in the first movement of Quartet no 5, and makes the most of the operatic recitative in the Adagio' (Classic FM Magazine)
'These musicians arrest attention by the variety of their bowing and articulation. They lean into notes, swelling and contracting the sound … to heighten the potential for expression … A very imaginative interpretation' (Gramophone)
Rezensionen
Ensemble: "Der stechend klare, weit atmende Klang, den Catherine Manson und Margaret Faultless (Violine) sowie James Boyd (Viola) und Jonathan Cohen (Cello) aus dieser 1771 entstandenen zweiten großen Quartett-Folge des vor 200 Jahren verstorbenen Komponisten erwachsen lassen, ist eine Wohltat und nimmt von der ersten bis zur letzten Note gefangen. Mit dieser klanglichen Schlichtheit gelingen den vier Musikern überreiche, äußerst lichte Ergründungen und Reflexionen von Zeit und ihrer Dauer."- Tracklisting
