The “new” Schuppanzigh Quartet was formed in 1996, the 200th anniversary of its historical model – the string quartet founded in 1796 by Ignaz Schuppanzigh (1796-1830) – by musicians who have all made a name for themselves in the field of historical performance practice. They play on period instruments.

No one would seriously doubt the canonical ranking of the string quartets of Joseph Haydn; nonetheless, as with his symphonies, only a far too small selection of this group of works has been able to secure a place in the repertoire of the ensembles and in the catalogues of recording companies. The present three-volume anthology containing string quartets of Haydn aims to document the significance of Haydn's string-quartet production precisely with lesser-known works. This project is being realised by the Schuppanzigh Quartet, one of the most renowned quartets performing on historical instruments.
