About

Mozart virtually invented the piano quartet. This is music for connoiseurs, not amateurs - broad in scale, prolific in themes and richly developed.
"An outstanding disc, with performances that can make us think afresh about the music and its place in Mozart's output" - Stanley Sadie
"What a difference when this much-advertised work of art is performed with the highest degree of accuracy by four skilled musicians who have studied it carefully, in a quiet room where the sound of every note cannot escape the listening ear, and in the presence of only two or three attentive persons! But, of course, in this case no éclat, no brilliant modish success is to be thought of, nor is conventional praise to be obtained! Here political ambition can have no part to play, nothing to gain, nothing to bestow, nothing to give and nothing to take – in contrast to public concerts of the modern kind, where such factors exert such an almost constant influence." – Journal des Luxus und der Moden (June 1788)
