The string quartets by Leoš Janáček are documents of his creative independence and his love. Originally, Janáček composed the viola part of the second string quartet for viola d’amore. For practical reasons, however, he had to adapt the work for conventional viola. For this recording, Gunter Teuffel and the Mandelring Quartet have reconstructed the original version, offering the second string quartet in both versions, for viola and viola d’amore.more

"Plötzlich klingt alles sehnsüchtiger, wehmütiger, beredter und melodiös lyrischer. So werden aus „Intimen Briefen“ wieder „Liebesbriefe“, wie Janacek das Quartett ursprünglich nennen wollte." (Süddeutsche Zeitung)
