Mozart, W.A.: The String Quartets

Since the late 1990s Decca and DG Collectors Editions boxes have sold in their millions: they are a staple of the Universal Classics catalogue. Now, after more than a decade, we felt it was time to spruce them up – with a new look, new contents and new booklet essays. THE LOOK: Everyone likes to receive a letter or parcel … What better way to encourage the giving of gifts than with these eye-catching covers from Aileen Reese of Hamburg’s Design Factory, who has developed cute individual “packages” for each box?THE CONTENTS: As far as possible, we have taken account of 2010 anniversaries (for example, Chopin, Mahler, Wolf) and are offering new sets of repertoire, not just revamping “old” Collectors boxes. MOZART / AMADEUS: “A fitting memorial to one of the great ensembles of our time” –GramophoneAll 23 string quartets in this specially priced 6-CD setMozart’s twenty-three string quartets span his entire career and contain some of the finest music he wrote, at once exhilarating and deeply-felt. In their 40-year career the Amadeus Quartet made these works very much their own, bringing to them a rare esprit and freshness, a sense of spontaneity, as well as unique qualities of elegance and affection.
