About

The Alinde Quartett took its name from a song of Franz Schubert.

2018. Summer in Italy. For the first time, the thought occured to the musicians to record Schubert’s string quartets. Not particularly imaginative, one could say. But they couldn’t shake it, excitement overtook them. Euphoria. Soon the course was set: in 2028 the world will commemorate the 200th anniversary of Schubert’s death. The Alinde Quartett is going to record all of the string quartets from his pen by then.

A journey, a challenge. From the 13-year-old’s first work until the herculean, celebrated G major Quartet from his last year of life, 18 years later. Time was short for Schubert.

On every CD, the Schubert quartets appear alongside a new work. In total six composers were commissioned.
