Schubert (1797-1828)

Description:

The pioneer of string quartet with ancient instruments has returned to the stage! The Feshtetich Quartet is a pioneer of string quartets specializing in ancient instruments, and has been active in Hungary since around the end of the Cold War, when interest in ancient instrumental music increased dramatically in the former Eastern countries. This album was released as part of a project to record the complete works of Schubert's quartets. Unfortunately, the complete works were not recorded, but it was regrettable that this single album, which appeared on its own, remained difficult to obtain for a long time and was not even known to exist. All of the instruments used are original from the 18th century or earlier. The unique and tasteful performance, which is also rooted in Hungarian local traditions, makes us feel strongly that this revival is a significant opportunity to make it widely known once again.
