Haydn: Complete symphonies (Fischer) [33 CD]

Efter de första tre kvartetterna ur op. 33 som kom i maj 2023 - en inspelning som hyllades av kritiker för sin "exceptionellt trogna tolkning som går rakt till verkens hjärta" (Diapason) och som belönades med flera utmärkelser - presenterar Chiaroscuro Quartet nu de sista tre kvartetterna i samlingen. I förhållande till tidigare kvartetter markerar dessa födelsen av den klassiska stråkkvartettgenren. Mozart var en som hämtade inspiration från dem till sina egna kvartetter.

Nu kommer Brilliant Classics största boxar som efterlängtade nyutgåvor! Kompletta Edition-samlingar av Mozart, Bach, Vivaldi, Händel och Haydn, där den minsta innehåller 65 CD och den största hela 170 CD!

Haydn: Violin concertos (Jan Stigmer) [CD]

Haydn: Trumpet concerto/Horn concerto No 1 [CD]

Takács Quartet <br/><br/>These quartets date from 1793 and were written when Haydn returned home to Vienna after a visit to London which had cemented his international fame as a composer and public figure.<br/><br/>The composer wrote a set of six string quartets for Count Anton Apponyi, a chamberlain at the Imperial Court. The set was broken up into two groups of three and sold to separate publishers, thus becoming the Op 71 and Op 74 Quartets, both released this month by the acclaimed Takács Quartet.<br/><br/>The quartets possess an orchestral sonority, and the frequent modulations, dynamic variations and increasingly virtuosic writing can be derived from elements of the six London Symphonies. They demonstrate the composer's astonishing elegance, lyricism and his immense skill in fusing the profound with the light-hearted.<br/><br/>In these compelling interpretations the Takács Quartet display an absolute unanimity of tone and style and cement their reputation as one of today's greatest string quartets.
