Album by Joseph Haydn & Lindsay String Quartet

String Quartets, Op. 20 Nos. 2, 5 and 6 are a set of string quartets by Joseph Haydn, composed in 1772. They exemplify Classical-era chamber music with intricate counterpoint, expanded formal development and an increased emphasis on equal interplay among the four instruments, marking a key stage in Haydn's development of the string quartet as a central genre in Western art music.
