Following their acclaimed first installment of Franz Joseph Haydn's six Op. 20 string quartets, the Dudok Quartet Amsterdam returns with the remainder of the works from this hugely significant collection - the E-flat major, D major and A major quartets. Earning Haydn the title of the 'father of the string quartet', these works are said to have defined the medium for the next 200 years. It is in his lauded Op. 20, where Haydn connects old and new worlds and creates an all-encompassing universe. The Dudok Quartet Amsterdam is one of the most versatile and appealing string quartets of this time. The quartet's aim is to share the heart of music through captivating performances and an open approach of the audience.
