Guide Review - Haydn: Complete String Quartets

I, myself, am a lover of the violin, and after listening to Haydn's string quartets, it would be safe to say he was too. The Angeles String Quartet gives a flawless performance; their fine musicianship and incredible talent ever apparent throughout the 15 disk collection. For music students analyzing Haydn's string quartets, this collection is a must have. Recordings that were once hard to find (or didn't exist) are now readily available.
