London Haydn Quartet
From among the many British string quartets that cultivate the repertory of the Classical period, the London Haydn Quartet stands out for its use of period instruments, strung with gut and played with bows from the Classical era. The group often but not exclusively performs the music of its namesake.
The members of the London Haydn Quartet -- violinists Catherine Manson and Michael Gurevich, violist John Crockatt, and cellist Jonathan Manson -- came together in 2000 after discovering their mutual enthusiasm for Haydn's music; the membership has remained constant. The quartet soon received invitations to perform on chamber music concert series in Europe, North America, and Japan, appearing at both Yamaha and Asahi Halls in Tokyo. The group has appeared at Wigmore Hall in London, Carnegie Hall in New York, and other top venues, including Haydn's Esterháza Palace. The quartet focuses on Haydn but does not program his works exclusively, often pairing them in concert with those of Beethoven and, in the process, drawing new connections between the works of those two composers. It has also collaborated, on recordings and in concert, with period-instrument clarinetist Eric Hoeprich, with whom it recorded the Brahms and Mozart clarinet quintets for the Glossa label in 2007.
At the center of its recorded output, however, has been its cycle of Haydn quartets, recorded for Hyperion. The cycle was launched in 2007 with the Op. 9 quartets, and by late 2017 reached the quartets of Op. 54 and Op. 55. The series brought strong critical acclaim and international opportunities; the years 2016 and 2017 saw London Haydn Quartet tours on four continents. In 2017, the group returned to Glossa for a recording of clarinet quintets by Bernhard Crusell, and in 2020 for another of clarinet quintets by Carl Maria von Weber and Franz Krommer. The London Haydn Quartet's Haydn series concluded in 2023 with the two quartets of Op. 77, the single quartet of Op. 42, and the quartet The Seven Last Words of Our Savior on the Cross. In the late 2010s and early 2020s, the group appeared frequently in the U.S. and Canada and also performed in Australia and Singapore.
