Wiener Streich Quintett

Description:

The Vienna String Quartet was founded in 1964 by Werner Hinck, concert master of the Vienna Philharmonic, and four other members of the Vienna Philharmonic, and is one of the world's leading string quartets. The quartet's repertoire includes works by composers such as Schubert, Mozart, and Beethoven, all of whom are associated with Vienna, and the quartet has earned an international reputation for its gorgeous, soft music. The quartet has received international acclaim for its gorgeous and soft music.　The quartet's first album in eight years features the string quartet of Brahms, another composer who is inseparable from Vienna. This is the first time they have performed and recorded Brahms's String Quartet No. 2, and we can look forward to a highly anticipated recording of this piece. ［Comment courtesy of Camerata Tokyo.]
