Joseph Haydn composed his last complete string quartets between 1798 and 1800, at the same time as the 38-years-younger Beethoven was completing his first quartets. This challenging juxtaposition seems to have inspired the ageing maestro, as his Op. 77 quartets brim with creative energy. Exceptional emotional depth is also found in the quartets of Gubaidulina and Shostakovich.
