Haydn

String Quartets op.33

The Six String Quartets op.33, tought known as the ´Russian Quartets´ in reference to their dedicatee the Grand Duke of Russia and future Tsar Paul I, in fact have much more in common with Austrian folk music and comic opera. Almost ten years after the extreme intensity of his op.20, Haydn shows his wit and good humour in these works featuring scherzos, written ´in a new and special way´.
