Description
Volume 2 of the Haydn Quartets" by W. A. Mozart, played by Auryn Quartet, in TACET Real Surround Sound.
After strong recommendations for the previous Auryn Mozart string quintets recording (Audiophile Highlight in Stereo, klassik-heute recommendation, nomination for ICMA) and lots of praise for the CD version of this recording, TACET are delighted to present the release in TACET Real Surround Sound, where every magical detail of the interaction between Matthias Lingenfelder, Jens Oppermann, Stewart Eaton und Andreas Arndt is made clear.
CRITICAL ACCLAIM
"As complete Haydn quartet cycles on modern instruments go—at least of those I'm familiar with, which include the Angeles (Philips), Kodaly (Naxos), and Aeolian (Decca) Quartets, the Auryn would now be my first choice for reliable, technically flawless, overall stylish performances that cultivate a clean, lean sound, just tempos, and no Romantic indulgences. I would agree with North, however, to the extent that while the performances exhibit no unorthodoxies, neither do they exhibit much in the way of musical revelation. Still, I prefer the Auryn's unadventurous approach to the less consistently dependable competition, at least until another ensemble decides to go for broke and record a complete Haydn cycle." – Fanfare
"…Their Sound is always beautifully blended." – American Record Guide
