The Amadeus Quartet were the world's favourite string quartet from the 1950s to the 1980s, especially associated with the Viennese classics. For the Haydn anniversary of 2009, this set brings together all the Amadeus's Haydn recordings, which comprises the complete sequence of works from op. 51 (Seven Last Words on the Cross) through to op 103 (the final unfinished quartet)
"This is poised and civilised music-making, much of which is familiar and all of it intensely thoughtful and revealing...the playing of slow movements especially seems to anticipate the profundity of Beethoven. If you buy only one Haydn release in this year, it should be this set." The Guardian
