Joseph Haydn (1732-1809):
String Quartets in F major, Op. 5 "The Dream"
Anton Webern (1883-1945):
Five Movements for String Quartet, Op. 5
Joseph Haydn:
String Quartet in G minor, Op. 74, No. 3 "The Rider"

If a string quartet wins two of the most important competitions for their instruments within only a few months, this is something of a sensation - even if the Amaryllis Quartett, whose debut GENUIN CD is now being released, had long been a household name among chamber music fans. Now listeners can revel in the refined tone and technical perfection of their playing and also delight in the musical poise, maturity and its excellent programming: Webern's aphoristic Five Movements for String Quartet framed by Haydn quartets. A wide arc reaching across the history of the genre - a tremendous quartet discovery.
