		Haydn wrote 83 quartets and is known as the "father of the string quartet," while Beethoven's sixteen greatly widened the expressive range of the four instruments.
		This quartet is one of the fruits of that period.
		These quartets represent the pinnacle of Haydn's chamber writing, and demonstrate why Haydn deserves to be the "Father of the String Quartet" just as much as he is "Father of the Symphony." One of the most exciting is the second quartet, nicknamed "Fifths" from the musical interval that makes up the first movement's theme.

	Colorado Quartet's Hancher Concert To Conclude Iowa Residency
		The Mozart quartet was included in the program because one of the texts studied by the reading groups was the playscript of "Amadeus," by Peter Shaffer.
		"Amadeus" is principally the story of Mozart's legendary composing rival, Antonio Salieri, a religiously upright man who played by the rules and yet realizes that God has bestowed genius instead on the uncouth free spirit Mozart, but the play also depicts the courtly patronage system under which both Mozart and Salieri worked.
		The Colorado Quartet is known not only for musical integrity, impassioned playing and lyrical finesse, but also for their spontaneous, friendly rapport with audiences.

		The Amadeus Quartet was one of the premier chamber ensembles for much of its 40-year life, its members refugees from Vienna who landed on their feet in pre-war London.
		Listeners familiar with the Amadeus' later stereo recordings may be surprised at the higher level of energy displayed back then, the quartet's members still in their late 20s in 1951.
		Despite a hurried opening to the Quartet No. 13 D. 804 ("Rosamunde"), the Andante is well done, and in the last of the canon, the 15th quartet, the players bring an Old World charm to the soft-core Scherzo--and their slow movement is one of the set's highlights.

	In Memorian for Norbert Brainin
		Three of the future members of the Amadeus Quartet became close friends because of their joint fate as refugees and their life in the internment camp; artistically, they became close later in Max Rostal's chamber orchestra, and while playing string quartets together.
		The (unofficial) debut of the “Brainin Quartet” in 1947 was already a huge success; the proper debut of the Amadeus Quartet on April 10, 1948 in London was even a sensation.
		In a truly memorable concert with the Orlando Quartet, which was also educated by members of the Amadeus, in Wiesbaden in 1992, Brainin even played viola in the performance of Mozart's C-minor String Quintet KV 406.

		Where the Amadeus score in the C minor is mainly in the extraordinary third movement.
		The tempo is hard to judge too, and the slower Amadeus speed gets it right for me. I also need to hear a twanging quality to the tone of the accompaniment in the trio section, much as the Amadeus do it, and they round the movement off with cleaner ensemble on the final pizzicato chord.

		Perhaps the Amadeus do not penetrate the greatest depths of Beethoven’s masterpieces, but the Schubert Piano Quintet, unlike his String Quintet, is a lightweight work that requires a different approach.

		This performance of Schubert's "Trout" Quintet and the "Death and the Maiden" Quartet by the Amadeus String Quartet is simply first rate.
		The Amadeus Quartet's special affinity for the Viennese classics shows clearly in the idiomatic lilt and heartfelt expressiveness of their first recording of the Schubert Quintet, made only a few years after the group was formed.

		Leaders of string quartets come and go, but Norbert Brainin led the Amadeus Quartet for all 40 years of that ensemble's epoch-making existence.
		After its Wigmore Hall debut in 1948, the Amadeus — as it was named in tribute to the composer who was one of the pillars of its repertoire — found itself increasingly in demand.
		Presiding over an annual quartet competition at Evian, on Lake Geneva, he and his colleagues willingly admitted to me (as a critic-in-residence at the event that year) that the food and wine at the Hotel Royale were part of the attraction.

		Sometimes his ideas caused eyebrows to be raised, not least by his colleagues in the quartet, but knowing his essential goodness, what in others would have been dubious became just one of Norbert's eccentricities.
		He was a great quartet leader, perhaps the outstanding one of his generation and a wonderful human being, a gentleman, with a unique, larger than life, personality.

		The Rosamunde Quartet performed Beethoven's late (1826), seven-movement String Quartet in C Sharp Minor, op.131, (composed without pauses) in a nearly breathtakingly precise and transparent fashion.
		Secondly, during that time, the Guarneri Quartet became a musical beacon for me. I attended their concerts and was captivated by the particular sound quality they achieved.
		The Amadeus Quartet was a major influence for me. I studied with them quite intensely for four years, also on pieces that are now part of the Rosamunde Quartet's repertoire, which is why it is sometimes difficult to bid farewell to old ideas and interpretations.

		The quartet was formed in 1947, the result of an internment-camp meeting during World War II between three young Austrian refugees—Peter Schidlof, the group's violist; Norbert Brainin, a violinist; and Siegmund Nissel, also a violinist.

		It has recorded the complete quartets of Revueltas and Ginastera and is in the process of finishing the much larger VIlla-Lobos cycle.

		The Amadeus Quartet was the last inheritor of the great Viennese quartet tradition that, like so much else, was rudely discontinued by the war.
		Comprising nine of Mozart’s 10 mature string quartets and four of the string quintets (with violist Cecil Aronowitz sitting in), this box set is awash in playing that points up Mozart’s contrapuntal skill and formal invention.
		That’s especially true in the five quartets dedicated to Haydn: whereas many foursomes play these works dramatically in order to play up their innovation, the Amadeus lets everything unfold with fluency and charm.
