Joseph Haydn: Fruhe Streichquartette

Beskrivning

The Weinzierl castle in Lower Austria, which still stands today, can be considered to be the birthplace of a chamber music genre, which is firmly established in our present-day repertoire. The young Haydn was invited to spend some time at this place by a wealthy musical friend and often met up with the steward at the castle, the castle priest and the cellist Anton Albrechtsberger to make music. Although his first two works for 2 violins, viola and bass" still have five movements, their musical value establishes the success of the string quartet in its own right.

Also available as part of a 12 part set including all Haydn's works for String Quartet, Cat. No. HN9216"
