The Flonzaley Quartet plays Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
This two-disc set documents the recordings of one of the dominant chamber music groups of its time (1905-1929). Supported by a wealthy New York banker, the Flonzaley Quartet had the unusual luxury of being able to devote all the time it wanted to rehearsals. The technical standard of its playing remains impressive even today, and its interpretations are extremely beautiful. This set includes a complete Haydn quartet that was not issued on 78s, along with several single movements that were not part of complete recordings because the recording company wasn't sure there was enough of a market for string quartets. This is not just history; it's beautiful music-making. --Leslie Gerber
