About

With Volume 22, the Leipzig Quartet brings their acclaimed complete recording of Joseph Haydn's quartets to a decisive and resonant close. This final instalment crowns a project of extraordinary scope and artistic consistency, with Op.76 revealing Haydn at his most expansive and imaginative. The result feels less like an ending than a culmination of decades of interpretative insight into the classical quartet repertoire.

From the very first bars of Op.76 no.1, the performance radiates immediacy and alertness, as if the music were being freshly invented in real time. The Leipzig Quartet captures the theatrical energy of Haydn's writing-its sudden contrasts, rhythmic wit, and structural surprises-with infectious clarity. The opening gestures, including those striking chords, are shaped with a sense of purpose that instantly commands attention.

Across all three quartets, the ensemble reveals the astonishing range of Haydn's late style, from lyrical introspection to playful virtuosity and daring harmonic excursions. The balance of voices is particularly compelling, with inner lines given exceptional prominence, illuminating the conversational nature of the music. This interpretative approach brings out how forward-looking these works can sound, especially in their unexpected turns and textural transparency.

The recording benefits from the characteristic MDG sound aesthetic, combining analytical precision with natural warmth and spatial depth. Each instrument is rendered with lifelike presence, allowing Haydn's contrapuntal architecture to unfold with complete clarity. The result is a listening experience that engages both intellect and emotion, confirming this release as a distinguished milestone in modern Haydn interpretation.
