Haydn Op 1 I always watch this with deep love & nostalgia. Nearly 50 years ago on my beautiful English Thomas Kennedy viola, with my husband Brian on his early cello, & 2 dear violin friends Angela & Naomi, Angela an exceptionally beautiful musician for an amateur, we used to play the 2nd movement only as it was the only one the 3 less able of us could manage. In my mind we sounded just like this. There was so much love in the room. For Haydn, for the music and for each other. My beloved husband now 18 years deceased. Frequent contact lost with the two violins. But the music still sounds on triumphant from 250+ years in the past. Haydn was and still is my favourite composer. A superstar in London, Paris & Vienna and the most famous composer in Europe in his lifetime. Still composing in his 70s. I'm now in my 70s & can only marvel. The most famous composer in Europe in his lifetime.
Helen Dowland What a lovely comment. Your quite right, this is a fine performance of a very early quartet, in fact it’s astonishing the quality given how it pre-dates virtually every known work in the form. For those with ears to hear, Haydn is indeed worth a lifetime’s study; a very great composer indeed whose 68 string quartets are truly one of the greatest pinnacles of western classical music. Haydn is a second, truly great companion.
What a wonderful composer Haydn was! He brings such joy to our hearts!! May many be enchanted by this wonderful quartet...just one of many great ones!!!
It really is remarkable that Haydn was producing work of this quality so early in the history of the string quartet. The ten very early ‘divertimento a quattro’ quartets (Opera 0, 1, and 2) were written probably between 1754 and 1757, so to give a musical context, around the time of Mozart’s birth. Where Haydn then took the quartet set a benchmark by which almost every serious composer to the present day has been judged. A beautiful, committed performance of one of the ten pre-Opus 9 quartets, which like all this composer’s works, whatever period they are from, are well worth programming.
I love it as I am watching how the brilliant string players interlocking among themselves making beautiful music from Haydn in 5 movements! Thank you for sharing!
With each of the composers I adore I have chosen to begin at the begining- as far as Opus number. This is my first listen to this and whether it is too fast or what I cannot say, though, what I can say is Bravo! I really dug this; well done Zagreb Quartet and Holy Wow Maestro Hayden. Love, Laughter, Love

This first Quartet by Vater Haydn has an Adagio with so tuneful Sonority ❤

The Zagreb Quartet exists from 1919, almost 100 years playing music, the members are not the same indeed.
An outstanding performance of this early masterwork from Joseph Haydn. Bravo!
Я просто в восторге. Я так люблю именно эти ранные квартеты Гайдена. Спасибо, квартет из Цагариба и спасибо за запись.
Beautiful, thanks for posting.
