Minetti QuartettAbout
The connection between the life and work of the composer seems hardly more compelling than in the case of Mendelssohn’s String Quartet no.6 in F minor op.80. Nothing seems more able to demystify a work of music than death itself.
The title page of the manuscript of the String Quartet in D minor bears the date ‘In March 1824’ in Schubert’s own hand. And indeed, in the previous year Schubert did experience tragedy: professional failure and private disappointments tormented the composer in 1823.
The Minetti Quartett is marking its fifteenth anniversary by devising and performing a cycle of concerts during the 2017-18 season at Vienna’s newest venue, the MuTh Konzertsaal in the city’s Augarten. The debut concert in Hamburg’s Elbphilharmonie, this newly recorded CD and concert tours to Spain, Italy, France, Germany, Sweden and America are further highlights of the ensemble’s anniversary season.
The name Minetti Quartett derives from a play by the dramatist Thomas Bernhard, who lived in Ohlsdorf in Austria’s Salzkammergut region, where the two violinists of the quartet grew up.
