About

Haydn’s string quartets represent one of the greatest developments in the history of music. Here, they are presented complete, from the earliest divertimenti to the sophisticated ‘Apponyi’, ‘Erdödy’ and ‘Lobkowitz’ quartets written at the end of the eighteenth century.

All the works in this comprehensive boxed set are performed by the Kodály Quartet – a group “fully worthy of the composer’s inexhaustible invention” (Penguin Guide on 8.550314).

Naxos is lucky to have such a polished, beautifully balanced group as the Kodály Quartet to record Haydn.” - Gramophone

Reviews

The Kodály does not lack warmth or a sense of style, and the consistently friendly warmth of these players' approach to Haydn's music is always endearing. The result almost always sounds spontaneous and usually carries the feeling of 'live' music-making.
