Two early Beethoven works from op. 18 frame the stormy 'Quartetto serioso' op 95. The Austrian Minetti Quartet, one of the most exciting young string quartets, have played concerts in major halls around the world. The follow up to their first two hanssler CLASSIC releases the unforced naturalness and multifaceted articulation of these four musicians is presented to fullest advantage in these expressive works, once again showcasing the outstanding musicianship of this young quartet.

Salvatore Accardo is considered to be one of today’s most celebrated violinists. Dynamic is happy to feature a series of DVDs proposing the master classes held by Salvatore Accardo in Cremona (the world capital of Violin Making) at the famous Walter Stauffer Musicology Centre in 2011.

From the humorous to the sublime: On it's third GENUIN-CD the magnificent Trio Ex Aequo offers a cross section of Beethoven's works for piano trio. From an early work to the mature Ghost Trio and the delightful variations based on the melody Ich bin der Schneider Kakadu. The timbral palette of the trio (Matthias Wollong - violin, Matthias Moosdorf - cello, a member of the Leipzig String Quartet and Olga Gollej - Piano) is large and meets the enormous demands of the three works in each moment. You won't even know which work you will first want to hear again: The pale sonorities, the fine web of the Ghost Trio or the mirth of the Kakadu, which is unequalled in Beethoven's oeuvre...

Over a few short years of the 1790's, Beethoven devoted special attention to a genre to which he would not return later in his life: the string trio. Five large-scale compositions would be the result. The first two, which are the subject of this recording, had likely been committed to paper by the time Beethoven travelled to Vienna to study with haydn. Their formal aspects alone seem to link them to the suite form of the Baroque more closely than the last three, in which Beethoven cultivated the classical sonata form, albeit somewhat removed from the essentially entertaining ''serenade style'' refined by Mozart.

To his audience back then, Beethoven must have been radical, stormy, piercing - overwhelming! Even the smallest loudspeaker jumps to the Aris Quartet, grabbing the listener and not letting go – pretty amazing for an ensemble whose members’ combined age is not yet 100! The multiple prizewinners of the 2016 International ARD Competition are among the absolute shooting stars of the quartet scene and, with their GENUIN album, they show why: cutting edge middle and late Beethoven – definitely worth listening to! The Aris Quartett was founded in 2009 on the initiative of Hubert Buchberger, Professor of Chamber Music at the Frankfurt University of Music and Performing Arts. At the time, Anna Katharina Wildermuth (violin), Noemi Zipperling (violin), Caspar Vinzens (viola), and Lukas Sieber (cello), were still high school students, but already studying their respective instruments as junior students at the music university. Begun as an experiment, this meeting between the four young musicians proved to be a genuine stroke of luck. Zipperling writes: “It was truly a wonderful accident that he chose us in particular. Otherwise it probably never would have occurrec to us to play chamber music in this combination, since at the time we didn’t know each other at all.” Eight years later, the Aris Quartett is one of the most striking quartets of the younger generation.
