Description
This classical music recording brings together string quartets by four highly regarded composers who met in cosmopolitan Vienna and were connected by friendship: Joseph Haydn’s String Quartet in G major, Op. 33 No. 5; Jan Křtitel Vaňhal’s String Quartet in A major, Op. 33 No. 2; Karl Ditters von Dittersdorf’s String Quartet No. 5 in E-flat major; and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s String Quartet No. 19 in C major, K. 465, known as the “Dissonance”. The recording draws inspiration from tenor Michael Kelly’s recollection of a 1784 musical evening at which Haydn, Dittersdorf, Vaňhal and Mozart played together. While Mozart revered Haydn as a master and Haydn praised Mozart as the greatest composer he knew, the works of Dittersdorf and Vaňhal remain less familiar to many listeners. The Bennewitz Quartet presents an opportunity to discover these overlooked masters in an acclaimed interpretation. The performers are Jakub Fišer and Štěpán Ježek on first and second violin, Jiří Pinkas on viola, and Štěpán Doležal on cello.
