performed by the Kodaly Quartet

Haydn’s string quartets represent one of the greatest developments in the history of music. Here, they are presented complete, from the earliest divertimenti to the sophisticated ‘Apponyi’, ‘Erdödy’ and ‘Lobkowitz’ quartets written at the end of the eighteenth century.

All the works in this comprehensive boxed set are performed by the Kodály Quartet – a group “fully worthy of the composer’s inexhaustible invention.”

“Naxos is lucky to have such a polished, beautifully balanced group as the Kodály Quartet to record Haydn.”
Gramophone

“There are no modern alternatives to this admirable Naxos production. Truthful, well-balanced sound and faultless musicianship makes this another winner.”
