Product Description
From Amazon.co.uk
Haydn is the perfect pick-me-up, especially in the hands of dedicated enthusiasts such as The Lindsays. The wit, sparkle and humour are all infectiously conveyed with that familiar keen rhythmic sense (although the players now and then press ahead perhaps a shade too much in both fast and slow music). But as these readings make clear, we ignore the soul-searching side to Haydn's personality at our peril--witness the dramatic Adagio of Op.64 No.6, for example.
It was commonplace at one time to hear statements to the effect that The Lindsays never let the search for technical perfection get in the way of the music. That may be true, but this disc is yet further evidence, if we needed it, of the quartet's consummate dexterity, indeed, it's the ability to retain the eye for detail while travelling at speed which sticks in the mind. As ever, first violin Peter Cropper is eloquence itself. The excellent recorded sound is warm, detailed and spacious. And compared with the Emerson Quartet's contemporary recording of Op.64 No.5? Fine though that is, when it comes to conveying the humanity in this music, The Lindsays are ahead--and with better sound. --Andrew Green

EXCELLENT HAYDN, EXCELLENTLY RECORDED
May 12 2010
Format:Audio CD
These are the last three quartets of Haydn's marvelous Op. 64 quartets. The Lindsays perform them energetically in a recording with excellent sound.
