Album by Joseph Haydn & The Amsterdam String Quartet

String Quartets, Vol. 2: op. 20 no. 4 / op. 64 no. 6 / op. 77 no. 1 is a collection of string quartets by Austrian composer Joseph Haydn, comprising works composed between c.1772 (Op.20) and 1799 (Op.77). The music charts Haydn's development in the genre, from the inventive contrapuntal and textural experiments of the earlier quartets to the concise, late-classical clarity and conversational interplay between instruments found in his later works, demonstrating the evolution of quartet form across his career.
