The Alinde Quartet, a captivating young chamber music ensemble, is embarking on a project centered around Franz Schubert, who inspired their name from a poem he set to music. Their #Schubert200 project, commemorating the composer's 200th death anniversary, includes recording all his quartets and other chamber works, alongside commissioning new pieces inspired by "Alinde." This project is supported by the Althafen Foundation.
While writing his first two string quartets, Johannes Brahms struggled under the shadow of Beethoven, whose overwhelming influence he felt for decades. His Third Quartet of 1876 is audibly indebted to another composer: the light touch and musical wit of Joseph Haydn are present throughout the score. The Hagen Quartett’s program creates an intergenerational dialogue between the two composers.

Individuality finding harmonious expression in an ensemble – this is the quintessence of the Vogler Quartet, which has been pursuing a unique global career with an unchanged line-up since its formation in 1985. With an intelligent approach to chamber music, outstanding playing technique and interpretive sensitivity, Tim Vogler, Frank Reinecke, Stefan Fehlandt and Stephan Forck have created an unmistakable string quartet sound which consistently offers new insights into the genre. The group has had a concert series at the Konzerthaus Berlin since 1993.
776 / 1500 Übersetzter Text The Alinde Quartet, named after Franz Schubert's song „Alinde“, is currently working with Hänssler Classic and Deutschlandfunk on the challenging project of recording all of the string quartets by the composer, who died at an early age. The unique point: Each CD also features a commissioned composition inspired by Schubert, bridging the gap between past and present. All six parts should be available by Schubert's 200th birthday in 2028. In addition to two Schubert quartets - including the famous „Death and the Maiden“ - this concert will feature a work inspired by the composer as well as a quartet by the young Barcelona composer Marc Migó, which is based on the Catalan folk dance Sardana.

Based in Prague, the multi-award-winning Bennewitz Quartet is regarded as a cultural ambassador for the Czech Republic, embodying the Bohemian-Czech sound idiom par excellence. The ensemble is named after the important violinist and founder of the Czech violin school Antonín Bennewitz. The programme includes Brahms' predominantly cheerful third string quartet, which he wrote in 1875 during a summer holiday on the Neckar near Heidelberg. For the string quintet by their compatriot Dvořák, the four Czechs have borrowed reinforcements from the Salzburg Hagen Quartet: Violist Veronika Hagen completes the line-up in the Bohemian master's third and final string quintet. Composed in 1893, it is one of the pieces that, like his 9th Symphony „From the New World“ and the 12th String Quartet with the nickname „American“, we owe to the composer's extended stay in the USA. Whether and to what extent some of the motifs and melodies originate from indigenous music that fascinated Dvořák has been a matter of some controversy among musicologists, though.
