General noteThe string quartet version is an arrangement by Haydn of his orchestral version; "the version recorded here is yet another reworking ... aware that all the reworkings had not disturbed the length and tenor of the original version, [the Juilliard Quartet] gathered four ... vocal soloists ... and worked out among themselves a version for string quartet and vocal quartet that incorporates the string quartet version in toto, plus as much of the oratorio version as would include its text and emotional impact"--Insert, p. 6.
