Description:

World premiere recording of string quartets by the quartet Pleyel with members of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra! The Ignatz Pleyel Quartet, composed entirely of members of the Vienna Philharmonic, performs the string quartets of the Viennese classical musician Ignatz Pleyel (1757-1831), who is now known mainly as a piano composer. While in the familiar classical style, Pleyel's string quartets also show aspects of new music full of surprises, such as deviations from the recapitulation section and unexpected modulations. The graceful and enchanting quartets of the Viennese classical school, which Mozart praised in a letter to his father Leopold written in 1784, will be reproduced by the virtuoso players of the Vienna Philharmonic, who carry on the Viennese tradition.
