Multiple recordings of Haydn's complete string quartets have been made over the years. The first complete set was made by the Tátrai Quartet for Hungaroton from 1964 to 1984 and issued as a boxed set in 2000. [8] During the 1970s, the Aeolian Quartet recorded a complete cycle for Decca, which was then reissued in 2009.
The set was Haydn's first complete set of quartets since the Opus 33 set of 1781. While the Opus 33 set was apt for broad public consumption, the Opus 50 set is more serious and experimental. It is perhaps because of the Opus 50's intellectual character that other sets among Haydn's mature quartets have received more attention from performers. [4]

The Tátrai Quartet was a Hungarian classical string quartet founded in 1946. For the half-century after World War II it was one of the foremost string quartets in Hungary, specializing in Haydn and Bartók, whose complete quartets it recorded for Hungaroton, Mozart and Beethoven as well, and were also responsible for first performances of works by certain Hungarian composers.
