Synopsis

Product Description
The Zehetmair Quartett, one of the most exciting and accomplished string quartets of our time, plays a program of characteristically broad reach.

This double album begins with Beethovens highly-concentrated opus 135, and concludes with Heinz Holligers explosions of fantasy in his 2nd String Quartet, a composition written for, and premiered by, the Zehetmair group.

Bruckners rarely-heard C-minor quartet is, as Thomas Zehetmair notes, both touching and warm-hearted. These three pieces the Beethoven, Bruckner and Holliger quartets - were recorded in Zurich 2010.

The Hartmann Nr. 2 a large-scale nostalgic drama, full of wisdom was recorded in 2002 by an earlier quartet line-up, and this interpretation is previously unreleased. It was the last of the Zehetmair Quartett recordings to feature cellist and founding member Françoise Groben (1965- 2011). Her energy and creativity were crucial to our development and early successes. This new production is dedicated to her memory.
