Kindness, warmth, quiet calm – it is Haydn all over. The sound is spirited, green, and full of silence. Yes, spirited and full of quiet calm, definitely, that much I understand, but green? Just how green is Haydn’s music? Frog, bird, sunrise… Although Matangi zealously devotes itself to the composer’s sustainability, do not allow yourself to be hoodwinked by the names given to the string quartets in this compilation.
