Mahler’s works fill me with the most unlimited, boundless admiration... In my opinion Mahler will be regarded as unassailable in the not-too-distant future... Schoenberg’s latest works have not allways aroused in me the same love, though I always feel boundless respect for them (Zemlinsky, October 1913)

Six perfect quartets, a true concentrate of the genre with an inexhaustible richness and a virtuoso polyphonic style... Precise, but never cerebral, the Kocian allow at last these masterpieces to reach the position they deserve within the string quartet literature of the twentieth century : the first one, together with Bartók and Shostakovich. (Guillaume CONNESSON, editor's choice for DIAPASON, September 1996)

Felix MENDELSSOHN : STRING QUINTET Op.87 - FUGA Op.81- STRING QUARTET Op.13 KOCIAN Quartet, Kluson
In stock
The Quartet, Op.13, written by a gifted 18-year-old, let us discover an astonishing ‘music of happiness’ in which, according to Pierre Marie Baillot, one would again find the ‘joyous laughter of the elves of A Midsummer Night’s Dream’, whilst denoting a precocious assimilation of the avant-gardist conquests of the recently-deceased Beethoven. The Quintet with two violas (1845), with its pre-Brahmsian breadth of phrase, alternates splendours close to the Violin Concerto, Op. 64 and autumn strolls and reveals the malaise of an overworked creator who did not have the time, before his premature death, to revise the finale, which he did not like.

Felix MENDELSSOHN : STRING QUARTET Op 12 - STRING QUINTET No 1 - Prazak & Zemlinsky Quartet
Two works completed before the composer turned 23. These ‘music scores of happiness’ in which, according to Baillot, one allegedly finds the ‘joyous laughter of the elves’ from A Midsummer Night’s Dream, denotes an amazingly precocious assimilation of the avant-gardist conquests of a Beethoven who had just died. Schumann even asserted: ‘He is the Mozart of the 19th century; he is the brightest composer of the age, and he comprehends, with finest humour, the contradictions of our time more clearly than anyone, so that he is the first to reconcile them’.
