I think I might have found a set missing from your survey: Wihan Quartet on Nimbus. Here's a link to their set of the Middle quartets on Amazon: -String-Quartets-LUDWIG-BEETHOVEN/dp/B002FAD74E/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1516227087&sr=8-3&keywords=wihan+beethoven

Great discography! Thanks so much!Have you considered including collections of only the late quartets? As you're no doubt aware, there are several notable, even legendary sets: the Busch, the Hollywood, and the Yale sets immediately come to mind. The LaSalle also recorded a set, and the Mosaïques recently released a provocative new set (although I don't think they have plans to complete a cycle by also recording the middle quartets ... but who knows?). I can't imagine a Beethoven quartet aficionado going without at least some of those collections!

Thanks for the comment - and apologies for seeing it only so late. I have not thought of making an overview of just the late quartets... at least not so far.But come to think of it, the Busch Quartet should have a fairly decently sized Beethoven String Quartet discography, if one collected all their recordings. Perhaps a "notable/incomplete cycle" page might be merited, sort-of as with the Beethoven Piano Sonatas.Yes, aware of the Mosaiques; they were among my top 10 recordings of last year: Forbes: The 10 Best Classical Recordings Of 2017I think that they will at least try to record the middle quartets as well, actually. I briefly spoke to them about continuing the cycle on Naive on a different label (before Naive was taken over and resuscitated) and they appeared very willing.Cheers, jfl

Greetings Jens! I wanted to alert you of one additional (and quite rare) existing complete set, along with three others that are nearing completion. First, there was a "joint effort" complete set by the Aeolian Quartet (late quartets) and Gabrieli Quartet (early and middle quartets) on London back in the 90's. You can find a link to it on Amazon, although the MP3 version they link to is incorrect (it links to the earlier Hungarian set). This is actually a very good set, and rather hard to find. I lucked into it on eBay a few years back.In addition, the Miro Quartet, Cuarteto Casals and Arianna Quartet are all nearing the completion of their sets. The Miro Quartet currently lack only Op. 127, 132 & 135; the Casals are 2/3 of the way through; and the Arianna lack the Late Quartets.All the best! /Mark Wilson

Hello Jens,Happy 2020! The end of 2019 has brought us two new complete cycles. First is from the Miro Quartet on Pentatone: -String-Quartets-Miro-Quartet/dp/B07VCML4VD/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1RTDP6XJ0Y2D9&keywords=miro+quartet+beethoven&qid=1577985518&sprefix=miro+quartet+beethoven%2Caps%2C202&sr=8-1Next up is the Quatuor Stanislas on Forgotten Records: -integrale-des-quatuors-a-cordes-quatuor-stanislas-fr17018And finally, Sony is reissuing the classic Juilliard cycle from the sixties: -Quartets-1964-19-Juilliard-Quartet/dp/B07YMF23VL/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3TP72KWIMJVYY&keywords=beethoven+string+quartets&qid=1577985684&s=music&sprefix=beethoven+string+quartets%2Caps%2C240&sr=1-1I have listened to the new Miro cycle and think it's great. All the best, Mark

Over the years, Chicago trumpet player and composer Rob Mazurek has developed his own kind of musical subgenre, while at the same time still trying to move forward and break boundaries, without relinquishing his own musical signature. This years he brings us two gems: a quartet and a solo album.

Italy has played a significant role in the history of European music. Many music instruments, such as the violin and piano, were invented in Italy. The musical scale, the art of Opera and many music terms, such as sonnet, concert, quartet (see: Italian loanwords in English), were also born in Italy and many of the existing European classical music forms can trace their roots back to innovations of sixteenth and seventeenth century Italian music (such as the symphony, concerto, and sonata). These innovations in terms of harmony and notation have strongly influenced European classical music and enabled the development of opera in the late 1500s.

Reinhold Gliere was among the vast torrent of Russian second-raters who had long and distinguished teaching careers yet remained competent composers without much individuality or distinction manifest in their music.

'These are among the finest Haydn quartet recordings I have heard in years, performances which I am sure will quickly establish themselves as classics of the genre. They are consistently a degree more refined in texture and control of dynamic, while the ensemble is more polished.' (Read the album review)

8. Do you plan to tour the album?Yes. To bring this repertoire live, I set up a quartet which is a real pleasure, with Steve Shehan on percussion, Christian Belhomme on keyboard and Léo Ullmann on violin. Together we did a premiere in Valencia where we recorded a live video to have promotional material.

Not merely a doubled quartet, the piece is a true octet in which counterpoint, texturing, and harmonic complexity are every bit as sophisticated as in any symphony. In four movements, the work unfolds like a symphony, with a brilliant first movement allegro giving way to a marvelously dreamy second movement andante. A third movement scherzo is chamber-like in its texture and transparency but, again, symphonic in scope and size. It in fact develops a near-diabolical complexity due to Mendelssohn's brilliant use of eight voices instead of four or even fewer. The presto finale opens with outright bizarre chuffing from the cellos, but explodes immediately into a vigorous romp which plunges ahead, barely taking a breath, to a large, truly symphonic finale.

Band, *1999 IS, ReykjavíkElectronic and RockHailing from Reykjavík, Iceland and founded in 1999, Apparat Organ Quartet is a band that originally included the musicians Hörður Bragason, Músikvatur, Úlfur Eldjárn and Jóhann Jóhannsson. They were soon joined by drummer Þorvaldur Gröndal, replaced in 2001 by Arnar Geir Ómarsson, drummer of the Icelandic rock band HAM. Lacking the time to dedicate himself to the group because of his solo projects, Jóhann Jóhannsson left the band in 2012.The quartet sometimes describe their music as "Machine Rock and Roll" where every note is hand-played, with not a sequencer or computer in sight. The members play keyboards from their collection of jurassic analog machinery, including Russian synthesizers and customized home organs, Italian transistor organs from the 60's, malfunctioning Hammonds, old school vocoders and various circuit-bent Casios and Portasounds.

Since its foundation in 2007 the Notos Quartett has won six first prizes as well as numerous special prizes at international competitions in England, Holland, Italy and China. Above that in 2017 the quartet was awarded the ECHO Klassik as newcomer of the year, at the time a prestigious prize that in its history had only been given to ensembles on the rarest of occasions.

In addition to Günter Pichler, the leader of the legendary Alban Berg Quartet, with whom the quartet studied in Madrid at the Escuela Superior de Música Reina Sofía until 2017, the quartet's companions, teachers and supporters include the Mandelring Quartet, Menahem Pressler, András Schiff, Clemens Hagen and Uwe-Martin Haiberg.

Notos Quartett in the programme "Die besondere Aufnahme" On 23 April 2022, DLF Kultur presented its current production with the Notos Quartet with piano quartets by Françaix, Tansman and Lajtha in the programme "Die besondere Aufnahme" in conversation with Stefan Lang.

New CD: PARIS BAR On its new album "Paris Bar" - a tribute to the "Années folles" (the crazy 1920s) in Paris - the Notos Quartet presents the world premiere recording of László Lajtha's piano quartet. This extensive work is combined with two extremely rarely heard masterpieces by Jean Françaix and Alexandre Tansman. The thematic cohesion of the works on this album is determined by the multicultural and lively artistic scene of 1920s Paris, when artists from all over the world met and inspired each other in the Parisian bars and cafés. This is also true of the composers on this album, who lived in the French metropolis at the time and were inspired and shaped by the sparkling spirit of the times.

Notos Quartet performs world premiere On 21 January 2022 the Notos Quartet will perform the world premiere of David P. Graham's new piano quartet in Bonn, Germany. The work is entitled "A Gaelic Suite" and is dedicated to the Notos Quartet. David P. Graham

BBC Radio 3 recommends "Hungarian Treasures" "Bartók's piano quartet is a fascinating rediscovery, especially after listening to the Notos Quartet playing Dohnányi and Kodály. That Bartók premiere has made sure it will be noticed!" The BBC presents the Notos Quartets new album in its programme Record Review. Listen here!

WORLD PREMIERE: "Gravity" for piano quartet On 28th of October 2016 the Notos Quartet will be performing "Gravity" for piano quartet, a new work by British composer and Henze student David P. Graham. Written for the Notos Quartet it is inspired by astronomical phenomena such as the only recently discovered gravitational waves that Albert Einstein had predicted 100 years ago. www.david-p-graham.com 2b1af7f3a8
