Description:Following two highly acclaimed albums, the Maxwell Quartet rounds off it's Haydn mini-series with the composer's two Op. 77 string quartets, juxtaposed with it's signature pairing of Scottish folk music. The quartet, which has become known for it's 'infectious enthusiasm' and 'irresistible' playing (BBC Music Magazine), showcases it's compelling storytelling with Haydn's last foray in the genre. The two quartets balance and complement each other perfectly: one brilliant, enigmatic, youthful and light, the other considered, noble and with a certain degree of gravitas. The complementary choice of Scottish folk music is equally balanced, ranging from the joyful - The Marquis of Tullibardine, Captain Campbell's March, etc. - to the more sombre - Hector the Hero. The cleverly constructed programme epitomises Hatto Beyerle's aphorism (the Maxwell Quartet's mentor, and dedicatee of this album): 'In order to truly understand Haydn's music, you must first understand folk music.'
Discover the captivating world of Joseph Haydn?s string quartets with this exceptional CD, featuring his Op. 77 works alongside vibrant folk music from Scotland, performed by the acclaimed Maxwell Quartet. This release beautifully juxtaposes Haydn?s late masterworks?full of wit, lyricism and innovation?with traditional Scottish tunes that inspired and influenced classical composers for centuries. The Maxwell Quartet is renowned for its fresh interpretations and deep connection to both classical repertoire and folk traditions; their previous recordings have received critical acclaim, including a BBC Music Magazine Award nomination. Released by Linn Records?a prestigious label celebrated for audiophile-quality productions and championing outstanding artists in classical, jazz, and beyond?this album offers an immersive listening experience that bridges cultures through music.
