Descrizione:

Hyperion presenta l'integrale dei Quartetti per archi di Haydn, eseguiti con strumenti d'epoca, in un cofanetto di 20 CD a tiratura limitata. Le interpretazioni del London Haydn Quartet coniugano una prassi esecutiva storicamente documentata con le edizioni pubblicate quando Haydn era ancora in vita. L'uscita celebra il 25° anniversario della formazione del London Haydn Quartet. All'interno, i 10 doppi CD sono presentati in eleganti custodie, ciascuna impreziosita da sontuosi dipinti di Samuel Scott sul fronte e sul retro. Ogni custodia offre l'elenco dei brani, con molte riproduzioni delle partiture e dei frontespizi originali. Il libretto di 52 pagine raccoglie tutti i saggi di Richard Wigmore presenti nei libretti dei singoli album, dalla prima pubblicazione (2007) all'ultima (2023).
