Mozart was still in nappies at the time when Haydn more or less single-handedly invented the string quartet. Nearly half a century later, as he struggled - and failed - to complete his last quartet, Beethoven was already at work on his Eroica Symphony. In the interim, Haydn wrote considerably more quartet masterpieces than Mozart, Beethoven and Schubert put together, raising the medium to a level of sophistication, subtlety and originality that provided a yardstick for all later composers. Mind you, it took him some time to get there: it isn't until the eighth CD of this set that we reach the first of the unequivocally great works, the six quartets which make up Op. 20.

The Roomates come from England - via Philadelphia and New York. Formed in the mid-1980s, this quintet of young British rock 'n roll fans broke away from their contemporaries, (busy embracing rockabilly as the latest wave of American music culture hit the UK), to form a group who set out to prove there was more to music than slap bass clicks and rim shots. This features Nick Kennedy and brothers Mark and Steve Webb who celebrate 18 years together with the release of this album. Their influences include the Elegants, the Skyliners, the Duprees, the Mystics and the Passions to name just a handful of groups and you'll hear them echoed in many of the songs here.

An unknown poet created a choral cantata from the song "Make you, my spirit, ready" by Johann Burchard Freystein. Of the ten verses of the song, he took the first and the last word literally for the introductory and final choruses, and from the content of the internal verses he freely composed two recitatives and two arias. The Gospel of Sunday, the parable of the unfaithful scapegoat (Matthew 18: 23-35), describes the contrast between God's grace and human ruthlessness. At the thought of the song, the Cantata poet takes up that the king can unexpectedly demand an account from his servants, and that he must be ready to watch (n. 2-3) and to pray (n. 4-5).
