About

Haydn's 'Seven Last Words'?heard here in the composer's own arrangement for string quartet?is simply sublime, and a fitting testimonial to the composer's deep, enduring faith. It provides an apt and generous coupling for the two magnificent Op 77 quartets, Haydn's final complete contribution to the string quartet genre. Haydn: String Quartets Op 76 CDA68335: "Some of the greatest, most formally innovative, inventive and deeply felt string quartets ever composed, delivered by a quartet of players of faultless intonation, unanimity and blend." - BBC Music Magazine String Quartets Opp 71 & 74 CDA68230: "There are moments where it's really stunning and I don't think it could have been done quite so well in any other way...wonderful stuff." - BBC Record Review

May 2023

There’s a wonderful immediacy about the London Haydn Quartet’s playing here, complemented by superb recorded sound. The ensemble’s period instruments, gut strings and considered stylistic approach offer plenty of colour and contrast.

June 2023

the more I returned to these performances, the more I found myself warming to their fantasy, their disciplined spontaneity and their cumulative insights.

6th April 2023

This set includes pieces from books 2 to 5 of Messiaen’s great cycle, including the centrepiece of the series, La Rousserolle Effarvatte (The Reed Warbler) which takes the whole of the fourth book; in between them there’s music by Grieg and Debussy, Betsy Jolas, Sadie Harrison and Julian Anderson. The juxtapositions aren’t always convincing, though Chadwick’s playing is keenly focused.
