All shall not die echoes the quotation engraved on Joseph Haydn's stele, in Vienna: Non omnis moriar. This latine epitaph claims the immortality of the artist through his work, which remains eternal. Recording these quartets is surely a way to pay tribute to the great figure of the classic era Haydn was, but it also ensures the musical legacy of the man who not only built the foundations of the genre but also explored the variety of its ways. Through the birth of the genre to the beginnings of the romanticism, the six pieces chosen by the Hanson Quartet unearth the rich inventiveness of his work, both lyrical, baroque, playful and dramatic. Whereas the young musicians enjoy playing with their listeners' expectations, as Haydn did himself, shaping the musical form to their desires, their musical phrasing owes much to the historic recordings. With this first recording, the four musicians show how much they resemble Haydn: audacious, rebellious and inspired.

À Haydn, génial défricheur, le Quatuor Hanson reconnaissant ! All shall not die fait écho au Non omnis moriar gravé sur la tombe de Joseph Haydn, à Vienne. L'épitaphe latine reconnaît l'immortalité du compositeur à travers son oeuvre, éternelle. Enregistrer ses quatuors, c'est certes rendre hommage à la figure tutélaire de la période classique, mais c'est surtout faire vivre l'héritage musical de celui qui, posant les fondations du genre, en explora déjà les possibilités timbrales, formelles et stylistiques ! Pour dévoiler cette richesse, les jeunes musiciens ont choisi six quatuors dans lesquels Haydn se montre tour à tour lyrique, baroque, farceur ou dramatique, de la naissance du genre jusqu'à ses premiers frémissements romantiques. Si le Quatuor Hanson s'amuse avec la forme en déjouant les attentes de l'auditeur (comme Haydn lui-même), et exacerbe certaines nuances, la pensée de leurs phrasés est humblement nourrie des enregistrements historiques. Les Hanson font leur entrée dans la discographie avec un compositeur qui leur ressemble : audacieux, rebelle et inventif.
