The Hagen Quartett is one of the leading chamber ensembles of its native Austria, gaining international attention for its broad repertory and its work with violinist Gidon Kremer. The original members of the Hagen Quartett were siblings Lukas (first violin), Angelika (first violin), Veronika (viola), and Clemens (cello) Hagen. The group's influences have resulted in a group that has a repertory ranging from Bach to new music. The Hagen Quartet released its debut album in 1984, joining pianist András Schiff on Schubert's Piano Quintet in A major, D. 667 ("Trout"). Angelika Hagen left the quartet and was replaced first by Annette Bik and, in 1987, by Rainer Schmidt. The other three Hagen siblings were still part of the group as of the mid-2020s. By 2023, when the group released an album of clarinet quintets by Mozart and Jörg Widmann, its recording catalog comprised some 35 albums.
