BaL 7.1.12 Haydn String Quartets Op. 33

[aka Calum Da Jazbo]

do i recall years back when the Kodaly's were highly recommended in the Op 76?

many thanks to the reviewer, a bewitching essay as i lay in luxurious idleness this morning ....

Yes - I recall the same thing. I seem to remember buying them on the strength of the hearing the extracts on said BaL.

I listened in similar idleness this morning - it was so bewitching that I fell asleep and missed the second half, coming round for the result But that was nothing to do with the reviewer - it seemed like an exemplary BAL

I shall definitely listen to the section I missed. The music (which I'm ashamed to say I didn't know at all) was entrancing

Sounds from what I heard and from what fhg and others say above, that I have a treat in store

I'm sure you did, but different quartets! Also there was a time when there were atually two very similar versions of the Op 76 both by the Kodalys - both on Naxos.

I think the Kodalys have only done the complete Op 76 once, but they did a separate (earlier?) single disc of just the three nicknamed works from this set. That one does appear to have succumbed to deletion. IIRC the BaL programme was on one of these three quartets, not the whole opus, and the reviewer went for the one from the Kodaly's complete set.
