About

For over a third of the last century, the Amadeus Quartet delighted audiences throughout the world and set the benchmark of performance against which later generations of chamber musicians are judged.

This 7CD set contains their early recordings made for the Westminster label, as well as those made for HMV/EMI and Deutsche Grammophon. The repertoire is Haydn, Schubert, Brahms - composers they were always associated with - and (a rarity) the only recording they made of Mendelssohn.

This set charts the remarkable rise of one of the most famous quartets of all time. ‘The Amadeus Quartet’ wrote the critic Conrad Wilson in The Scotsman in 1964, ‘is like Herbert von Karajan – so perfect a musical machine, so smooth, so effortless, so beautifully balanced that people are forever condemning it for its virtues…’

Comparatively little of the quartet’s large catalogue is available today: this release fills a major gap in the catalogue.

"Haydn’s Seven Last Words is very fine indeed, poised and deeply felt…..the closing Presto is a really ferocious rendition" - Gramophone

"‘Death and the Maiden’ has real gusto" - Gramophone
