QUARTETTO WERTHER NEW CD OUT NOW!

Quartetto Werther’s new cd “Elective Affinities” is out today!

The young, Italy-based Quartetto Werther, regarded as one of the most promising rising chamber ensembles in the Italian and international concert scene, presents two masterpieces from the piano quartet repertoire: a lesser known work by the 16-year-old Felix Mendelssohn and Johannes Brahms’ Piano Quartet No. 3, a composition he grappled with for nearly twenty years. This GENUIN release pays homage to three towering figures of Romanticism: Mendelssohn, Brahms, and the literary giant Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, without whom these works might never have come into existence. Firmly grounded in Goethe’s poetic legacy and performed with extraordinary musical and technical refinement, this album brings both fresh revelations and long-overdue rediscoveries to light!

Tracklist
Felix Mendelssohn (1809–1847)
Piano Quartet No. 3 in B minor, Op. 3
I. Allegro molto
II. Andante
III. Allegro molto
IV. Finale. Allegro vivace


Johannes Brahms (1833–1897)
Piano Quartet No. 3 in C minor, Op. 60
I. Allegro non troppo
II. Scherzo. Allegro
III. Andante
IV. Finale. Allegro comodo
