L'Archibudelli is a group of chamber music-loving soloists -- friends of many years' standing who come together to perform their favorite pieces; their high level of intuitive collaboration makes each recording an extraordinary event. The stellar ensemble has garnered particular praise for its strong interpretations of the music of Haydn. This Vivarte album of Haydn: The Last Three String Quartets presents some of the greatest and most loved of all string quartets, performed by these indisputable masters of the genre. BBC Music Magazine raves about the ensemble's "great idiomatic subtlety, fine dynamic gradation, tight control of line and articulation, and above all, that freshness and individuality."
