The unforgettable Aeolian String Quartet brings "The Haydn Complete String Quartets" to life!
This remastered DECCA release includes the complete quartets on 22 CDs with booklet in English, French and German including the history of their composition.
Haydn's String Quartets "represent one of the most
fascinating monuments of Western arts and compositional mastery that have maintained a
hold on performers and listeners for over two centuries… like Beethoven’s piano
sonatas!"
These recordings are by The Aeolian String Quartet with Emanuel Hurwitz & Raymond Keenlyside on Violins, Margaret Major on Viola, and Derek Simpson on Cello.
The Aeolian Quartet was
a highly reputed string quartet based in London, England, with a long

Quartet. The quartet adopted its new name in 1944 and disbanded in 1981.
