London Haydn Quartet Haydn: String Quartets Op.76 CD

The London Haydn Quartet perform the String Quartets Op.76, the summit of his quartet-writing, and of the classical string quartet medium itself. The "Emperor", "Fifths" and "Sunrise" may be the best known of the six - as so often with those works by Haydn which have nicknames - but the others are every bit their equal.
