About this product
For some, challenging the popular ranking of the string quartets of Joseph Haydn might seem pedantic and snobbish. Nonetheless, as with his symphonies, a far too small selection of this group of works has been able to secure a place in the repertoire of ensembles and in the catalogues of record companies. This disc by the Schuppanzigh Quartet, one of the most renowned quartets performing on historical instruments, aims to document the significance of Haydn's string quartets by focusing on the lesser-known works from among the sixty-eight masterpieces Haydn has left us.

The Schuppanzigh Quartet has been a source of enormous energy in the area of string quartet literature for almost thirty years. Founded by violinist Anton Steck in 1996, the ensemble offers a delightful experience with their intellectually stimulating concert programs and recordings, whose connections to other arts are completely fascinating. So too is their current album with it's snapshots of early 19th century Vienna. Beethoven's unruly and ironic InchQuartetto seriosoInch Op. 95 is paired with a quartet by the French violinist Pierre Rode, for whom the master had written his last violin sonata Op. 96 in 1812. Consequently, this work is also recorded here - not in the original, but in an astonishing quartet version that Beethoven's pupil and friend Ferdinand Ries arranged. And so it sounds almost a bit like Dvorak
