String Quartets Op. 51 "The Seven Last Words from the Cross"

Album by Joseph Haydn & Kathrin Rabus & Gérard Caussé & Ko Iwasaki & Gidon Kremer

String Quartets Op. 51, The Seven Last Words from the Cross, is a string quartet arrangement by Joseph Haydn, published in 1787. It adapts an earlier orchestral work into a sequence of meditative movements for two violins, viola and cello that emphasise contrapuntal clarity, austere harmonic writing and contemplative textures, representing Haydn's engagement with sacred subject matter within his Classical-era chamber music output.
