ORIGINS

“I consider it to be the best I’ve written so far.” That’s what Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart wrote in a letter to his father about the Quintett KV 452. The ensemble 4.1 , called the Easy Rider of Vienna Classics (Hamburger Abendblatt), approaches this ingenious work with unlimited joy. The Debut-CD of the ensemble 4.1 comprises apart from the Mozart-Quintet the world premiere recording of the romantic opus of Theodoor Verhey and the rediscovery of the great Quintet written by the pianist Walter Gieseking, both works of surprisingly good quality.
