The first of two separate CDs covering Haydn's String Quartets, Op. 50, this 2004 ASV disc presents the first half of the set, dynamically performed by the Lindsay String Quartet and recorded with exceptionally clear sound. Haydn composed these quartets for Artaria's publication in 1787 and dedicated them to Prussian king and cellist {%Friedrich Wilhelm II}. Whether or not Haydn had him in mind for performing these pieces, it is fairly certain he wrote them as a rejoinder to Mozart's six so-called "Haydn" quartets of 1785. Haydn's serious discourse and increased chromaticism match Mozart's tone and harmonic intricacy, though these quartets are more austere and tautly argued than Mozart's lyrically elastic and intensely expressive works. The Lindsay Quartet is fully engaged in these performances, and its vigorous playing emphasizes Haydn's jagged rhythms, pugnacious phrasing, and lean textures. Because these quartets are rigorous and sometimes quite brusque, it is appropriate that the Lindsay dispenses with some niceties of tone and expression and executes these quartets with boisterous energy and grit. Listeners may find this disc to be a somewhat bracing experience, but there is sufficient warmth and depth in the slow movements to balance the robust effect of the Lindsay Quartet's fast movements. ~ Blair Sanderson, All Music Guide

An extraordinary disc in every way, this release from Deutsche Grammophon presents a new edition of a profound masterpiece, wonderfully performed by a great string quartet in splendid, lifelike sound. Composed for Good Friday services, Haydn's The Seven Last Words of Our Savior on the Cross is, in its most familiar version, a sequence of seven slow sonatas with an introduction and a concluding fast movement. On this recording, however, an additional movement is borrowed from Haydn's later choral adaptation, and appears as the Largo e cantabile introduction to the Sonata V. At first, this interpolation may seem unnecessary or unusual for novelty's sake, but when the beauty of the music is appreciated, it is easy to see why the ensemble felt drawn to include it. The Emerson Quartet's playing is superb throughout: rich in sonority, exquisite in timbres, immaculate in execution, and absolutely compelling in emotional involvement. A moving performance may well be expected from these excellent musicians, but they have outdone themselves, especially in conveying the music's spirituality and mystery. Deutsche Grammophon's terrific recording aids enjoyment, for the full-frequency sound captures the subtlest nuances with clarity and depth. On all accounts, then, this album must be considered a resounding success and is recommended as essential listening. ~ Blair Sanderson, All Music Guide
