Brilliant performance from the four artists ❤

[@SuperMelvyn]

Kremer's glorious tone really seers into the music transforming a fine piece of 18th century music into something fresh and powerful of all time. A wonderful achievement.

Beautiful. One doesn’t need a score to discern which saying is in the sequence of the music. Expressing prayer anoints the ears!

Magnifique! Merci!

solo violin with 3 obligatos.... thats not how haydn ment it. Its a quartet, should be 4 equivalent voices playing together.

[@elaineblackhurst1509]

This is not a string quartet, it is an arrangement of the orchestral original for string quartet; what you have written applies to Haydn’s string quartets, but not to this version.

[@WolfgangWeihs]

@@elaineblackhurst1509 I haven't compared the sheet music note for note, but I have played the quartet version myself very often. It is by no means in Hayden's sense that the first violonist plays himself so prominently here. Personally, I don't think this recording is good and unbalanced. Mrs Mutter once said to a concertmaster of a well-known Viennese orchestra during a rehearsal: stop playing for once.... you see, that's what it must sound like. The quote comes to mind here.... although the picture direction is also to blame, as it only ever focusses on the ‘solo violin’.

[@elaineblackhurst1509]

@@WolfgangWeihs I’ll be honest, I really do not like this string quartet arrangement of the work, it is not proper string quartet writing as Haydn himself was very well aware, and I remain astonished that any professional string quartet would ever want to play it. It is nothing more than a functional arrangement of little artistic merit - though highly professionally done - which sits in my opinion alongside Mozart’s Handel arrangements as one of the biggest wastes of time by a major composer in the history of western classical music. If the string quartet version (the piano transcription as well) were to be consigned to the flames of an Eszterhaza fire, the world would be none the poorer; the loss of the orchestral original, or Haydn’s later choral version would be an irreplaceable loss of unimaginable magnitude.
