Your free download this week is from the Jerusalem Quartet's latest CD of Haydn string quartets, winner of the Chamber Award at this year's BBC Music Magazine Awards. We've chosen the Adagio from the String Quartet in F minor, Op. 20 No. 5 (Harmonia Mundi HMX 2962030).

'Their playing has everything you could possibly wish for,' wrote critic Erik Levi. 'Miraculously honed intonation and perfect ensemble is matched throughout by an innate understanding of Haydn's mercurial and immensely varied musical language.'

'We try to exaggerate the things that Haydn wants to express,' says the Quartet's cellist Kyril Zlotnikov. 'For some it may be too much, but we do try to make sure that we don't lose the style, the touch, the taste and the atmosphere of the composer. We're trying to do Classical things in a modern way.'
