Neuigkeit Nov 3, 2008 News 25 years Mandelring Quartet

This year the Mandelring Quartet celebrate the 25th anniversary of its concert-début. Considering its members’ birthdates (1964 – 72), many people may find it amazing that the quartet has actually been in existence for a quarter of a century. People who know that three of its members are siblings and have played music together since their youth will be perhaps less amazed.

In the early 1980s Sebastian, Nanette and Bernhard Schmidt, along with a friend, began to appear as a string quartet on festive occasions. As their appearances became more frequent, the idea arose to probe more deeply into the quartet genre. Thus, in 1983, the Mandelring Quartet came into existence. They took their name from the place where they rehearsed, a former vineyard on a road lined with almond trees (“Mandeln”). The Mandelring Quartet has been in existence since 1983 with only one brief interruption for a year of study in the USA. Violist Roland Glassl joined the quartet in 1999.

In the fifth year of its existence, the ensemble drew attention with a CD recording of Schubert’s “Death and the Maiden” Quartet. A year later it was placed under contract by the Sudbrack Agency in Hamburg. The resultant concert engagements quickly helped it to garner a fine reputation. The quartet soon mastered a large repertoire, thus acquiring a solid basis for its carrier. From 1991 to 1994 it won several major competitions (Munich, Evian, Paolo Borciani), which soon led to recitals in the major European concert halls. Since then the Mandelring Quartet has performed in fifty countries all over the globe as one of the leading international quartets of our time.

The musicians also left a clear artistic imprint on the programs of the HAMBACHERMusikFEST, an international chamber music festival founded under the artistic direction of the Mandelring Quartet in 1997. The festival has quickly advanced to become a meeting place for chamber music aficionados from all over the world.

The Mandelring Quartet’s versatility and wide-ranging repertoire is heard on twenty CD releases. Since 2001 it has issued its recordings on the audite label, including three Brahms quartets in combination with works by a contemporary (Dessoff, Gernsheim, Herzogenberg), and six Schubert quartets. The Mandelring Quartet is currently recording a complete set of all fifteen Shostakovitch quartets.

Dynamism, vitality, colour, imagination, humour, excitement, rigor, textual fidelity, homogeneity and great delight in playing: all these characteristics describe the playing of the Mandelring Quartet. We can hear it on their CDs and feel it even more vividly in their many recitals.

Neuigkeit Dec 23, 2008 News audite-Weihnachtsgeschenk

Merry Christmas and a happy New Year!
audite gives away a Christmas present: "Venite adoremus" by Gaston Marie Dethier with Johannes Geffert, organ.

2008 was a good year for audite. One notable highlight, amongst many other releases, was the spectacular discovery of ‘Porgy and Bess’: the German première of this Gershwin opera was recorded in 1952 amidst the wreckage of post-war Berlin. The audio tapes remained untouched and uncatalogued for over forty years in the archives of the former RIAS. The discovery was only made possible as a result of intensive research as well as through the close and long-term relationship that we enjoy with our partners at the radio and the archives. Apart from such highlights, audite deliberately issues diverse recordings, the common ground of which lies in the striking intensity of their interpretation. This subjective criterion is the musical and focal core of the label. It is the combination of the personal dedication of its personnel, the unusually slimline company structure and the international bias which have taken audite forward for many years. We therefore have no worries about the future: we hope you will join us in looking forward to another year full of discoveries!
