Inhalt: |
The Lindsays' enviable reputation owes much to their authoritative recordings of the compIete quartets of three composers: Haydn, Beethoven and Bartok Their recordings of the quartets of Haydn stand out in particular, setting compIeteIy new standards. The wonderfuI instruments they pIay on - two Stradivari vioIins, an Amati vioIa and a Ruggiero ceIlo - make a significant contribution to the Quartet's unique and unmistakabIe sound.
The Lindsays have made a decision which very few musicians dare to make: at the height of their international fame they have decided to disband the Quartet. Together with a voIuminous discography, this DVD set is a testimony to an extraordinary ensembIe that has not only set standards for the future but has also done much to restore Joseph Haydn, father of the string quartet, to his rightfuI place in the repertoire.
These seven quartets were recorded in High Definition and true Surround Sound during the acclaimed Kuhmo Chamber Music FestivaI in 2004. |
