Info zu Schubert: String Quartet No. 15 - Haydn: String Quartet No. 26

In this new recording the prestigious Tetzlaff Quartett presents a program of String Quartets by Franz Schubert and Joseph Haydn in exemplary performances.

Praised by The New York Times for their “dramatic, energetic playing of clean intensity”, the Tetzlaff Quartett is one of today’s leading string quartets. Alongside their successful individual careers, Christian and Tanja Tetzlaff, Hanna Weinmeister and Elisabeth Kufferath have met since 1994 to perform several times each season in concerts that regularly receive great critical acclaim.

Franz Schubert’s (1797–1828) String Quartet No. 15 in G major, D. 887 was completed by the composer in 1826. It is the last work in the impressive series of String Quartets that Schubert wrote during his lifetime. In this Quartet, nearly symphonic in its epic scale, Schubert is touching new musical landscapes after the success of his ‘Rosamunde’ and ‘Death and the Maiden’ Quartets. The String Quartet in G minor, Op. 20 No. 3 by Joseph Haydn (1732–1809), also known as ‘the Father of String Quartet’, was written in 1772 when Haydn was at the height of his creative powers at the Esterházy Court. In this revolutionary work the composer explores the limits of the genre through unusual choices in its structure and style.
