The Zehetmair
Quartett, one of the most exciting and accomplished string quartets of
our time, plays a programme of characteristically broad reach. This
double album begins with Beethoven’s highly-concentrated opus 135, and
concludes with Heinz Holliger’s explosions of fantasy in his 2nd String
Quartet, a composition written for, and premiered by, the Zehetmair
group. Bruckner’s 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 an early successes. This new
production is dedicated to her memory.”
