Miraculous Haydn

"The Jerusalem Quartet's latest recording of Haydn Quartets is an absolute triumph. Their playing has everything you could possibly wish for. Miraculously honed intonation and perfect ensemble is matched troughout by an innate understanding of Haydn's mercurial and immensely varied musical language. Recorded in superb sound, it has to be one of the best Haydn recordings to be released in his anniversary year!"

Erik Levi

BBC MUSIC MAGAZINE

'It has been a long time since I have been so taken with any readings of Haydn Quartets. All three of these appear on the Emerson's recent "The Haydn Project" DG set, and the Jerusalem wins two out of three. This disc strikes me as the ideal gift... I certainly cannot resist its charm; at first hearing, it brightened a gray day, and its smile has not faded.'

Fanfare

"these are magnificent performances...these players don't put a foot wrong interpretively, uphold the highest standards technically, and enjoy splendid engineering...There's no need to say more: why read on when you could be listening?"
