  1. Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik

    Laudatio for the Award of the German Record Critics' Annual Prize to the Haydn Cycle by the Auryn Quartet

    Joseph Haydn is considered the father of the string quartet genre. The Auryn Quartet recorded his nearly 70 string quartets over a two-year period: for the first time using the critically edited "purified" text, with esprit, lively emotion, and highly differentiated ensemble playing, all within a natural sound space: a small sensation. Such an undertaking requires a label that is not only technically state-of-the-art but also willing to take risks. The Stuttgart-based TACET Musikproduktion has distinguished itself several times through this very combination of skill and daring. Therefore, we award the Annual Prize to the Auryn Quartet and their producer/sound engineer Andreas Spreer for their epochal Haydn project, which is already assured a prominent place in the annals of sound recording.

  2. Pizzicato

    "EXPERIENCE AND ENJOY"
    With volumes 2 and 9 of a total of 14, the Auryn Quartet continues its globally acclaimed complete recording of the Haydn quartets. (…)
    The Auryn Quartet devotes itself wholeheartedly to this wonderful music (...). And so once again with this Haydn: start the CD, sit back, close your eyes, experience, enjoy, and forget all the ugliness in the world.

  3. Audiophile Audition

    (...) As with other installments in Auryn's Haydn quartet series, this becomes an instant benchmark. The Auryn simply catch the Haydn manner better than any other quartet I've heard, with a well-calibrated emotional barometer in each of Haydn's twenty movements, in addition to lovely tone and spot-on intonation top to bottom. Again, the sound, from Kirche Honrath near Cologne, is excellent, too - resonant but detailed, with a wiede sound stage and convincing depth, as if you're listening from a seat n the middle of the house. An easy recommendation.

  4. Klassik heute

    (…) The members of the Auryn Quartet do not take these playful works lightly. They devote themselves to them with the same care that has characterized the previous productions of their Haydn series, offering cultivated, sonorous, and responsive quartet playing (…)
