Anton Webern:
Langsamer Satz

Arnold Schönberg:
String Quartet No. 2, Op. 10

Alban Berg:
String Quartet, Op. 3

The Richter Ensemble plays music from the 17th to the 20th century exclusively on gut strings and uses its experience with historical performance practice to sharpen the sense for the development of musical language over the centuries. It is passionately dedicated to the music of the Second Viennese School and, based on its research, has decided that the time is ripe to take the perception of this music in a new direction, on the path of rediscovery and recapture not only of its modernity but also of its connections to the past. For this reason, the musicians have initiated a project to record the complete string quartet works of the Second Viennese School, to place them in a historical context and to combine them with unusual works by other composers.
