The Flonzaley Quartet plays Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven

CD Details

The Flonzaley Quartet, one of the most influential chamber ensembles of the early twentieth century, recorded these works by Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven between 1905 and 1929. Backed by a wealthy New York patron, the quartet had the rare advantage of unlimited rehearsal time, allowing them to develop interpretations of remarkable depth and beauty. Their technical mastery remains striking today, capturing the essence of these classical masterpieces with sensitivity and precision.

This two-disc CD set brings together complete quartets and individual movements, including a full Haydn work never before released on 78s and several single movements that were initially considered too niche for commercial recording. Hear the Flonzaley Quartet’s elegant approach to these timeless compositions, preserved from their original recordings. Owning this used copy lets you experience important chamber music history at a fraction of the cost of a new release.
