Leyendecker / Minguet Quartett / Hemken Streichquartett 1-3 CD

The present release features chamber Music of one of the most established German composers of the 20th century, Ulrich Leyendecker, performed by one of Europe's best ensembles. The Minguet Quartet, founded in 1988, is one of the most internationally sought-after string quartets today and gives guest performances in all the great concert halls of the world. The passionate and intelligent interpretations of the Minguet Quartet always ensure inspiring listening experiences- "for the joy in sound and expression with which the ensemble makes the works speak enlivens even the smallest detail." (Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung) The namesake of the Quartet is Pablo Minguet, a Spanish philosopher of the 18th century who attempted, in his writings, to facilitate access to the fine arts for all sectors of the population- and this idea is a chief artistic concern of the Minguet Quartet.
