‘It has been a long time since I have been so taken with any readings of Haydn Quartets. All three of these appear on Emerson’s recent “The Haydn Project” DG set, and Jerusalem wins two out of three. This disc strikes me as the ideal gift. I certainly cannot resist its charm; at first hearing, it brightened a gray day, and its smile has not faded.’ Fanfare
