Since the Schumann Quartet was founded in 2007, its young, fresh, original perspective on music across the centuries has constantly guaranteed it eager listeners among the musical public. These four musicians seem more than happy to completely strip the heavy patina of tradition from every piece before shaping the now unburdened musical text into a new, coherent and the influence from a 21st century awareness of sound.

The verve, audible enthusiasm and breath-taking technical mastery with which the Schumann Quartet plays these three highly distinctive and unique pieces have been attested by the words of the music journalist Harald Eggebrecht – “A quartet like this has a huge future”. And after hearing this new CD, listeners will be able to say with justified confidence: the future has already begun!
