In Reply to: RE: Gasp! Hurwitz Disses Doric's Haydn Op 33 Quartets posted by jdaniel@jps.net on November 09, 2020 at 19:28:42
I agree with Hurwitz concerning these performances. They fall flat in so many ways. Of course YMMV.
Follow Ups:
I'm listening to Opus 33 #2 now on Tidal. Yawn... Just lifeless and dull. And it sounds like they take all kinds of liberties; I can't believe that they're playing the music as written. It sounds stylistically wrong to me. Poor Franz Joseph Haydn:)
Listen to the Janacek Quartet on DG by contrast. Utterly transporting.
Op. 33 No.2 AND Op. 33 No. 3 - recorded in the days before those horrible HIP mannerisms became de rigueur! Talk about "Was die Mode streng geteilt"! HIP is dividing us - just like Russian propaganda was dividing our society! (But now it's apparently and suddenly been quashed! I wish I could say the same thing for HIP!)
I have it too, and they're on Tidal. What do you think of them?

. . . was meant to denote full agreement with your sentiments about those performances! ;-)
BTW, in my LP days, I used to have the Janacek's Decca/London album of Op. 33 No. 2, Op. 76 No. 2, and the Serenade from Op. 3 (attributed to Haydn). I remember really liking that one too, but I haven't heard it since the CD era started.
Festetics does a wonderful job with Op. 33.
Are you talking about the OP 33 set or all of the releases?
And if all, which other 76. 20, and 64 sets do you prefer?
