Salzburg Mozartwoche (5) - Hagen Quartet, Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven, 30 January 2024
Grosser Saal, MozarteumHaydn: String Quartet in D minor, op.76 no.2, Hob. III:76, ‘Fifths’ Mozart: String Quartet in D minor, KV 421/417b Beethoven: String Quartet in C-sharp minor, op.131 Lukas Hagen, Rainer Schmidt (violins)Veronika Hagen (viola)Clemens Hagen (cello)Image: Wolfgang Lienbacher Three string quartets in minor keys, two of them in the same minor key, might sound like an overload of misery, or at least darkness, but matters were more mixed in this Hagen Quartet Mozartwoche recital.

There is so much more, so much more of interest, to Salieri than the preposterous charge that ‘everyone’ knows, but it has been greatly influential, whether we like it or not, and that of course includes its artistic legacy. Most celebrated of all […]
