Leipziger StreichquartettAbout
In Weimar Raff orchestrated some of Liszt’s early symphonic poems and gained his appreciation. This first recording by the Leipzig String Quartet shows that this was no accident; Raff’s first two quartets are large-format works which reveal great ambitions.
Raff’s music cannot be pigeonholed either in the “New German” or the “Brahmsian” category - perhaps the reason why he was admired by such diverse colleagues as Richard Strauss, Peter Tchaikovsky or even Franz Liszt.
As founding director of the Hoch’sche Conservatory in Frankfurt, Raff enjoyed great recognition among his contemporaries in later years. To rekindle this in our time, the new recording of the Leipzig String Quartet is a highly welcome beginning.
