All come in beautiful double paper sleeves featuring magnificent paintings by Samuel Scott. Each sleeve includes a track list, and many also feature reproductions of the original scores and frontispieces. The 52-page booklet contains all of Richard Wigmore’s liner notes, spanning from the first release (2007) to the latest (2022).\n\n“We are truly delighted to share all of this music with Haydn enthusiasts around the world. When viewed as a single body of work, Haydn’s string quartets not only created a genre but also clearly defined it through their sheer number and scope. We formed the London Haydn Quartet to immerse ourselves in this incomparable music, and for many years after our founding, we performed no works by other composers.” (Catherine Manson) (Founding Member, London Haydn Quartet)\n\n“For lovers of this magnificent music, one could not have wished for a better conclusion… The more I returned to these performances, the more I was drawn to their dreamlike quality, their disciplined spontaneity, and their insights, honed over many years.” — Gramophone\n\n“Here are some of the greatest, most formally innovative, imaginative, and deeply emotional string quartets ever composed. They are delivered by a quartet of performers who are perfect in their intonation, musical unity, and fusion.” —BBC Music Magazine\nUniversal Music\/IMS\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hyperion","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52490343121185,"sku":"34571146515","price":375.0,"currency_code":"PEN","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/34571146515.jpg?v=1774486312","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/en-pe\/products\/34571146515","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
