Leipziger StreichquartettAbout
The Quartets, op.71, which are still associated with the aristocratic name today, are evidence of Haydn's pronounced business acumen after his period of service with Prince Esterházy. But even more fascinating to us today is the sovereign mastery of a composer at the height of his creative powers.
Today, Haydn is known for skilfully exploiting the acoustic conditions of his performance venues when composing. The powerful chords at the beginning of Quartet no.1, for example, seem to literally call the audience to silence - with up to 900 people in the Hanover Square Rooms, surely not without reason... The reverberation of the concert hall, already praised by contemporaries, comes into its own again, and again through surprising pauses.
