This is volume three in the Doric String Quartet's
ongoing exploration of Haydn's complete string
quartets, already highly praised by major
international media and regularly supported by
concerts in the world's greatest venues, from
Carnegie and Wigmore halls to the Royal
Concertgebouw.
The Op. 64 Quartets date from a time of great
change for Haydn, compared with the previously
recorded Op. 20 and Op. 76. Not only was Haydn
preparing for the greatest adventure of his life –
what would turn out to be the first of two trips to
London – at the time of their composition, in 1790,
but they also appeared under a new publisher,
Leopold Kozeluch's firm Magazin de musique.
Marked throughout by the virtuosity of the Doric
String Quartet, the rhythmic energy as well as the
poetic tenderness of the players, this recording
showcases a highly characteristic side of Haydn's
music, the inexhaustible versatility and constant
unpredictability of the materials.
