"… Nos 5 and 6 are profoundly satisfying throughout, their first movements amply spacious, the minuets unpredictably and wittily timed, and the finales - high-class show-off music if ever there was - breathtaking in their mingled precision, delicacy and whooping high spirits. The recording, as in previous issues, is in the demonstration class while Dean Sutcliffe's notes. Like the playing, are guaranteed to make you hear these quartets with fresh ears."
Richard Wigmore - Gramophone magazine - April 2018
"The Op. 64s are among Haydn's least played quartets: only the Lark, No 5, is familiar ... Yet what treasures of invention, innovation, humour and beauty they contain. No 6 in E flat is a particular delight, but so is much else in these richly varied works, to which the excellent Doric players do ample justice."
