String Quartets op. 33 nos. 1, 2 & 4

Album by Joseph Haydn & Lindsay String Quartet

String Quartets Op.33 Nos. 1, 2 & 4 are part of a set of six string quartets by Joseph Haydn, composed in 1781. They exemplify Classical-era chamber music with balanced melodic lines, close conversational interplay among the instruments, inventive rhythmic gestures and formal experimentation, and they represent a pivotal development in Haydn's quartet writing that influenced the genre's subsequent evolution.
