About

A new release by the Leipzig String Quartet, rounding off their critically acclaimed recordings of Haydn't String Quartets for MDG.

This seventh volume of quartets by Joseph Haydn with the impressive Quartet in D minor op. 42 shows the exemplary lightness the four Leipzig musicians capture just the right tone, rendering audible the Esterháza master’s multivalent winking wit – which is your invitation to wink along!

Awards and reviews

December 2014

It is possible to play the music with a kind of deceptive innocence, as if a good deal is really going on behind the apparently straightforward events; and there is a suggestion of this in the excellent Leipzig Quartet's performance, a hint of the dry wit so characteristic of Haydn in his prime.
