Critics about the Schubert CD
"Eine Sternstunde! Fans der asketischen Gattung könnte sie süchtig machen" WESTDEUTSCHE ALLGEMEINE
" Das Hugo Wolf Quartett erzählt hier die Geschichte des Stücks als packendes Lebensdrama, aus einer Perspektive, die den Himmel schon im Blick hat, aber noch mit beiden Füßen auf dem Boden steht"FONOFORUM
" Wenn es noch eines Beweises bedurft hätte, daß das Hugo Wolf Quartett zu den herausragensten Streichquartetten unserer Zeit gehört, wäre es mit dieser Einspielung erbracht. Was sie hier präsentieren darf man getrost als ein Wunder an Homogenität nennen. KLASSIK-HEUTE
" Man kommt nicht nur ins Schwärmen, sondern auch ins Philosophieren, angesichts dieser herrlichen Interpretation. ENSEMBLE

After a very nice tour through the United States (of america!what else) we are spending our time on loosing our overweight due to too many Burgers and editing our new recording, which includes two quartets of Franz Schubert. Release will be in this spring.
During this US tour we gave masterclasses at the De Paul University Chicago, North Western University Chicago and at the State University of Illinois Urbana.
Since february, photographs of the quartet are hanging in the prestigous Leica gallery in New York as part of an exhibition about Austrian and in Austria based musicians like Karajan, Elina Garanca and others.
