...the Festetics are better. The Mosaiques are good in Op. 20 though I prefer modern instrument versions.

I really enjoy Michael Bernard O'Hanlon's Amazon review of the Opus 64, sandwiched between "my disc arrived cracked" and "my gramma bought me this CD and Haydn is a nice man":
I thoroughly enjoyed the Doric Quartet in the Sun Quartets - and their form spills over into Opus 64. Above all, it features the best account of C Major I've heard in my life. The scale and torque at hand are suggestive of Schubert's Reliquie or D 887 and (dare one say it) Bruckner. At long last, I appreciate it for being the masterpiece that it is. The remainder of the quartets are played in the same gutsy and poetic fashion - no wonder the Doric Quartet is loathed by the Period Practice Taliban. It doesn't hurt that the cellist is not a shy retiring type: opulence underpins this music-making. Not a bar here is prosaic or under-characterised. Love is evident. The development section of the Lark's first movement is played in a Sturm und Drang fashion and sensationally so - and yet again, torque is keynote. The Adagio Cantabile that follows is heavenly - make no mistake, this is revelation; it has more radiance to its name than Andromeda. I also draw your attention to the opening movement of the E Flat Quartet: what a fabulous sound they make!
