About

The Buchberger Quartet's aim is to have finished recording Haydn’s complete strings quartets by 2009, the bi-centenary of the composer’s death.

They have here recorded Haydn’s Quartet Divertimenti Opus 1 and 2, called ‘Cassationen’ by the composer himself. By developing the material in these early works, Haydn was already demonstrating his innovative powers. This music goes beyond being mere entertainment.

There are 10 pieces on these 3 CDs, all having five movements and mainly based on dances such as the Minuet. This music may seem easy to perform, but its transparency actually makes it treacherous for the musicians. Once more the Buchberger Quartet succeeds in putting Haydn’s mastery across in inspired and detailed performances.
