On this extensive release, the Verdi Quartet has taken on quite the task- recording Franz Schubert's complete string quartets. The four musicians brilliantly rise to the task, playing these works with verve and aplomb, and leaving the listener always wanting to hear more from these musicians. Time and again the four members of the Verdi Quartet have successfully communicated their own enthusiasm to their audiences, for instance at the great festivals at Schwetzingen, Ludwigsburg and Zermatt, the Mozart Festival at Lille (France), the Orlando Festival in Kerkrade (Netherlands) and the Bach Festival in Oregon, where they were appointed Quartet in Residence. Their national and international commitments have taken the quartet to virtually all the leading concert venues, not only in Europe but also in the USA, Canada, Africa and South Korea. They have appeared with eminent performers such as Norbert Brainin, Siegmund Nissel and Martin Lovett, Bruno Giuranna, Alfredo Perl, GÃ¼nter Ludwig, Rudolf Meister and Matthias Kirschnereit. Since 2003, the quartet has had a festival of it's own, "vielsaitig" in FÃ¼ssen, a mixture of concerts, chamber music and solo master classes, as well as a symposium for string instruments making.
