'Does it need saying that they're awfully good?' was The Strad's rhetorical take on the Takács Quartet's previous Haydn recordings for Hyperion. With more marvellous Haydn on offer here, it's a verdict which listeners will certainly share.
"One thing is certain about this new recording by the Takács Quartet: you will not hear better string quartet playing anywhere in the world today. The technical perfection can almost be taken for granted, but there is also the warmth and affection of the performances." BCB Music Five Stars
"Being late works, all Haydn's quartet concerns are present in spades: accessible melodies, harmonic sleight of hand, rhythmic fun and games and the rest. And being steeped in this music, the Takács respond to it with their customary naturalness and confidence." Gramophone
"the two completed movements of the Op 103, heartbreaking in their evocation both of Haydn's mortality and his undimmed verve, draw from the Takacs performances as wonderful and sonorous as you could hope for." Sunday Times Five Stars
