The London Haydn Quartet - Haydn: String Quartets Op 33 - performed from the Schmitt edition published in Amsterdam in 1782

A fourth volume of Haydn String Quartets finds period band The London Haydn Quartet on sparkling form. Their previous recordings have been praised for the �glowing sound of gut strings played perfectly in tune � the ensemble�s delicacy of nuance and sensitivity to harmonic colour, treating the listener as a privileged eavesdropper� (Gramophone).This competitively priced set contains the six Op 33 quartets, which Haydn wrote in Esterhazy after neglecting the genre for a decade, and which immediately became popular around Europe on publication.
