Comments and Reviews

xiphophilos 7th Nov 2016		Slholzer, please check out this performance of Haydn's String Quartet No. 64 in D, Op. 76, No. 5 (starting at 5:30 is the 2d movement: "Largo: Cantabile e mesto", in short, "Largo". Then please compare this with the mp3s of this record to which I had already provided links in earlier comments below. That should make it quite clear that the String Quartet No. 64 in D, Op. 76, No. 5 is the source of the Largo on this record, as I have already argued. A side mp3 B side mp3. Now compare this with the "Largo" from Haydn's "Xerxes": Not even a close cigar, is it?
slholzer 7th Nov 2016		I think the most likely source for Largo is Haydn's "Xerxes". It has been issued any number of times on different labels, usually with the larger work identified in the subtitle.
LaurenceD SUBS 5th Nov 2016		Ah, I see what you did there, xiphophilos - yes, that makes more sense. That is an unusual name that they chose for themselves.
xiphophilos 5th Nov 2016		Laurence, I think I have already identified Haydn's piece (the "Largo") correctly; please see below! I myself, by the way, was looking for a connection between Haydn and psalm 150 at first as well. Then I saw, however, that it's not the piece that's called Quatuor "In Cimbalis Bene Sonantibus" but the string quartet that performs the "Largo."
LaurenceD SUBS 5th Nov 2016		Speculating here, but Haydn did compose a number of choral works based on psalms, and the title "In Cimbalis Bene Sonantibus" would seem to come from psalm 150:5. That would explain this work being released on a label for sacred music, although it's been arranged for string quartet. Can't confirm this theory though, as I'm not aware that he composed music for that particular psalm. I've got a catalogue of his compositions somewhere, I'll have another look.

xiphophilos 5th Nov 2016		"The Quartet No. 64 in D major, Op. 76, No. 5, is sometimes nicknamed Largo because the second movement with that tempo distinction dominates the quartet both in length and in character" (from Wikipedia).
slholzer 4th Nov 2016		Is it common for the French to spell Haydn's name as Haynd, or is this just a really sloppy error on the part of a classical music label? Also, I think the Largo is likely just a part of one of Haydn's many larger works, but a brief glance through the Gramophone Shop's reference book section on Haydn didn't lead me to the missing identity. Maybe one of our classically inclined members can set me straight on that.
