“I still remember the first time I heard Beethoven’s op. 18 op. 6 in concert, and the biggest compliment I can pay to the Henschel Quartet that its performance took me back to that initial experience.

Hagen Quartett

(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." (CD review by Julian Haylock, The Strad)
