  1. The cover is the right one, but you are talking about the music on the Solomon-quartet-CD.
    The "Pleyels" recorded three different quartets. One in D major from op. 13 and two from op. 29.
    Also an excellent recording, like their 2 Pleyel - and the Klughardt-recordings.

  2. Thank you for your corrections and indeed a pleasent surprises that now we have three more quartets from Gyrowetz. When I posted this releases I haven't got the pieces and just duly assumed they are the same set as the "Solomon". The pieces now corrected and thank you for visiting my blog.
