Hagen Quartett

Here’s an entirely new, distinctive performance tradition in Shostakovich’s quartets. The Hagen’s approach is pristine, with a wonderful transparency to the textures and a real bounce to the dance-inspired movements. There’s no lack of emotional depth, but some of the grime of accumulated habits has been cleaned off and the works emerge shining anew. Helen Wallace - BBC Music Magazine

Mozart - The “Haydn” Quartets

Mozart:

Six Quartets dedicated to Haydn (Quartets 14-19)

Hagen Quartett

Recorded at the Mozarteum, Grosser Saal, Vienna, 26 January 1998

“By far the most compelling interpretation of Mozart’s string quartets comes from Salzburg: there is scarcely any other group that is capable of covering the vast stylistic range of these works as convincingly and as vitally as the Hagen Quartett. The result is a recording that should still be valid in thirty years’ time.” Neue Zürcher Zeitung

Hagen Quartett

(DG CD of the Month)

The ensemble's latest recording of Mozart string quartets left critics agog: "I doubt that these particular works have ever been recorded with such astonishing command as by the Hagen Quartett. The players' corporate intonation is almost impossibly true . . . A disc whose rare brand of perfectionism is rather special." (CD review by Julian Haylock, The Strad)
