Vroege Haydn ��� Kitgut Quartet

Old music is alive, and the number of quartets dedicated to historically informed performance practice is increasing. Amandine Beyer's Kitgut Quartet moves into the time of Haydn, Albrechtsberger and Schubert, three composers embedded in the classical Viennese music style. Schubert is the youngest and represents a different era, but his Seventh String Quartet is classically based.

Does coincidence exist?

The young composing violinist Joseph Haydn – far from 'Papa', rather 'puppy' Haydn – played with three random other string players for the Viennese Count Von Fürnberg. I liked the coincidental harmony so much that Count asked Haydn for more repertoire for this combination. In the following works, Haydn laid the foundation for the string quartet, the medium that has given us so much beautiful music. In the Early Haydn concert series, the classical beauty of Haydn's Opus 33 is in the hands of a different quartet every morning.
