“Supremely lyrical, exactingly detailed playing combined with impeccable balance and unanimity, resulting in an overwhelming performance.”—New York Times
It’s always a pleasure to welcome a lauded, seasoned string quartet to Athens for the first time, and the performance by this German ensemble promises to become an instant favorite with its “superlative technique and invigorating intensity” (New York Times). The performance features an all-Austrian program by three of Vienna’s superstar composers: Mozart’s Haydnesque Quartet in E-Flat Major, Anton Webern’s bold “Five Movements,” and Schubert’s last quartet—a highly textured piece filled with contrast and lyricism.
MOZART: String Quartet in E-Flat Major, K. 428
WEBERN: Fünf Sätze [Five Movements], Op. 5
SCHUBERT: String Quartet in G Major, D. 887
