The London Haydn Quartet was originally born out of a passion for Haydn's string quartets. Playing on gut strings with classical bows, they have received invitations to many of the most important concert series in UK, USA, Canada, The Netherlands, France, Germany and Switzerland. In addition to this, they have started several of their own concert series in which they have performed the complete Haydn cycle. Recently they have given recitals of Haydn programmes at the Wigmore Hall, the Cheltenham International Festival and at Haydn festivals in Lincoln and Lyon and the English Haydn Festival. This year they will also play at the Haydn Festival in Esterhazy.

In addition to their highly acclaimed  performances of Haydn they have formed a collaboration with period clarinettist Eric Hoeprich with whom they also recorded the Brahms and Mozart quintets on the Glossa label. Recent concerts in this combination have included a reinvitation to the Concertgebouw, a tour of the USA and Canada including a recital at the Library of Congress and appearances in Serbia, Switzerland and France.

The London Haydn Quartet's recording of Haydn's six quartets opus 9 has recently been realeased on the Hyperion label.

"Without doubt one of the all-time great Haydn quartet recordings."
Julian Haylock, Classic FM Magazine - December 2007

Four Haydn quartets performed by the London Haydn Quartet: if the players aren't exceptional they don't deserve to use the name. They were exceptional....This was superlative Haydn, present in all his many colours.

The London Haydn Quartet played an all-Mozart program that was virtually detonating with musicianship and fresh ideas. The quartet plays on period instruments using historical techniques, which makes for a colorful and appealingly low-voltage sound... Joined by early-clarinet virtuoso Eric Hoeprich, the quartet's solution was to highlight the personalities of the individual players, resulting in music that was absorbing and genuinely honest.

The emphasis on line, clarity and movement found its fulfilment in a performance that moved from sublimely
beautiful to wrenchingly tragic without slipping out of scale
