In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. Hearing Beethoven's op.18/6 in concert at a very young age made a huge impression and this experience created a first understanding of the emotional depth the String Quartet can convey. Ever since, sharing music and its emotions has been our mission.
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Alban Berg Quartett, Alban Berg Quartet - The Teldec Recordings Amadeus Quartet, Amadeus Quartet plays Mozart LaSalle Quartet, LaSalle Quartet - Neue Wiener Schule The Alban Berg and Cleveland Quartets hugely influenced our musical development, specifically in relation to Beethoven's canon. The Cleveland, Amadeus and the LaSalle Quartets were our main mentors, and we love going back to their recordings!
Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “String Quartet No. 1 in F Major, Op. 18 No. 1: II. Adagio affettuoso ed appassionato” This incredibly expressive slow movement represents the emotional heart of the entire work. It may also be a rare case of semi-programmatic music as Beethoven is said to have been inspired by the tomb scene from Shakespeare's 'Romeo and Juliet'!
