| Shostakovitch - String Quartets 3, 7 & 8
Here’s an entirely new, distinctive performance tradition in Shostakovich’s quartets. The Hagen’s approach is pristine, with a wonderful transparency to the textures and a real bounce to the dance-inspired movements. There’s no lack of emotional depth, but some of the grime of accumulated habits has been cleaned off and the works emerge shining anew. Helen Wallace - BBC Music Magazine BBC Music Magazine

| |  | Mozart - The “Haydn” Quartets
Recorded at the Mozarteum, Grosser Saal, Vienna, 26 January 1998 “By far the most compelling interpretation of Mozart’s string quartets comes from Salzburg: there is scarcely any other group that is capable of covering the vast stylistic range of these works as convincingly and as vitally as the Hagen Quartett. The result is a recording that should still be valid in thirty years’ time.” Neue Zürcher Zeitung |

| Beethoven - String Quartets Op. 127 & 132
(DG CD of the Month) The ensemble's latest recording of Mozart string quartets left critics agog: "I doubt that these particular works have ever been recorded with such astonishing command as by the Hagen Quartett. The players' corporate intonation is almost impossibly true . . . A disc whose rare brand of perfectionism is rather special."
