About the album

Kindness, warmth, quiet calm – it is Haydn all over. Although the album title suggests a nature theme, just how green is Haydn’s music? Titles like Frog, bird, sunrise… Although Matangi zealously devotes itself to the composer’s sustainability, do not allow yourself to be hoodwinked by the names. Matangi Quartet gathers three String quartets (op. 76 No. 4, op. 50 No. 6, op. 33 No. 3) by Haydn on one CD, interprets them musically under aspects of nature and gives them subtitles as metaphors for specific musical figures: Sunrise, The Frog and The Bird.
