"COMPOSÉS PAR Mr. HAYDEN"
THE FITZWILLIAM STRING QUARTET

The Fitzwilliam String Quartet is one of Britain's foremost chamber ensembles with a highly celebrated concert and recording history. This CD includes two late and great Haydn quartets, and a very early one, recorded at a live performance at Royal Holloway (University of London) in 2001, and captures the brilliance, joy and inspiration of these works perfectly.

“Lively charming music that fells like it could add class and elegance to any set of speakers it touches. A delightfully upmarket recording....[listeners] will find this quit hard to resist. Well done” – Chris Spector (MidWest Record)
