Three-quarters female, The Chiaroscuro Quartet which was founded in 2005 comes from all over Europe. The first violin from Russia, the second from Spain, the violist is Swedish and the cellist French. They all speak Haydn in the same language and with the same breath of youth and ardour. They play on gut strings that give the ensemble a warm sound, and a supple and graceful style. This new album is an enriching addition to their complete collection of Haydn's quartets for the excellent Swedish label BIS.
Wonderfully constructed and profound, the six quartets in Opus 76 are the last series Haydn completed. Composed after the quartets that Mozart had dedicated to him and at the same time as Beethoven's first sallies into the genre; they represent the peak of Haydn's genius.
The musicians of The Chiaroscuro Quartet present the second half of the corpus here, after publishing the first in May 2020. From the magical opening (Sunrise) of Quartet No. 4 to the dazzling Finale of Quartet No. 6, the whole vocabulary of the mature Haydn unfolds through these pages. Alternating between tears, comedy and surprises in a learned and refined writing style which is in constant evolution, these pieces are performed wonderfully by our four instrumentalists who are well-versed in Joseph Haydn's world. © François Hudry/Qobuz
