Haydn's op.71 no.1 in B flat major made a strong initial impression; well-chosen tempos and transparent textures conveyed its genial mood with complete success. R. Murry Schafer's Quartet no.5 of 1989 was pleasingly accessible in style and highly atmospheric. ...Beethoven's op.59 no.3 shared the same performance qualities as the Haydn, with the addition of some real virtuosity.
