Haydn / Auryn Quartet Auryn Series 26: Auryns Haydn Op 20 CD

The performances of Haydn's op. 20 on these discs are exemplary. Impeccable intonation, attention to detail, expressive dynamics, clarity of inner part-writing, and sensible tempos are coupled with a sufficiently fresh approach to make these discs a necessary part of one's CD library. (Fanfare)
