Haydn wrote his six ‘Apponyi’ quartets in 1793, for performance during his second London visit the following year. This is a world in which the members of The London Haydn Quartet are very much at home, and they bring all their usual attentive enthusiasm to these masterpieces.

“The group’s period-instrument sonority and basic approach will be familiar from earlier releases in this series: sparing use of vibrato (but liberal use of rubato), observance of all repeats in the outer movements, broad tempos and a clear, layered but buoyant ensemble sound…But overall, these are thoughtful rather than playful performances.” – Gramophone Magazine Awards, Issue 2019

“The virtues of these period-instrument players, in virtuoso yet probing works intended for performance in London, are well established: a perfectly balanced amalgam of rigorous counterpoint, broadly conceived slow movements, lilting minuets and exhilarating, witty finales.” – Sunday Times, 20th October 2019

“The familiar opening vivace of Op 71 No 3 in E flat major is perfectly animated, and the finale’s waltz irresistible in its Viennese lilt.” – The Guardian, 6th October 2019

“the LHQ continues to provoke but also most importantly, to provide immense satisfaction.” – The Strad, November 2019
