This review is from: Homage: Six Mozart Quartets Dedicated to Haydn (3 CDs) (Audio CD)

This is a gem of a recording for any fan of Mozart or the string quartet genre.

Mozart's String Quartets dedicated to Haydn are the epitome of string chamber music, and it is very worth studying all 6 of these masterworks.

Also a note about this recording: Along with being one of the most "together" quartets I've ever heard, this is also probably the BEST SOUNDING string quartet recording I've ever heard. The quality is beyond top notch.
