Live, Video: Find classical music concert, opera, ballet and dance reviews | English | Hagen Quartet

In Mozart's Clarinet Quintet, the dialogue between instruments, underlined by changes in moods and textures, had an operatic quality.

A performance that sacrificed a degree of Gallic fragrance in its pursuit of precision.

No perceivable whiff of ennui from the Hagen Quartet, whose four members truly play like a single organism.

In Zurich, the German configuration brilliantly showcased the composer’s supreme achievement in the string quartet genre.
