Info:
San Francisco Performances presents a rare appearance in the Bay Area of Austria's Hagen Quartet.
Having celebrated its 30th anniversary two seasons ago, the Hagen Quartet is perhaps best known to audiences through its 45 recordings for Deutsche Grammophon. Founded by siblings-three of whom remain- the Hagen is revered for an unmatched precision of ensemble and tone and a richly faceted style.
"The focus and unanimity are astounding. The music seems to have an inner life." - The New York Times.
The unprecedented three-decade career of the Hagen Quartet began in 1981. Its early years, marked by a series of prizes in chamber music competitions and an exclusive Deutsche Grammophon contract, enabled the group to work its way through the virtually unlimited quartet repertoire from which the distinctive profile of the Hagens has emerged.
The group's concert repertoire and discography feature attractive and intelligently arranged programs embracing the entire history of the string quartet, from its pre-Haydn beginnings right through to Kurtag. The Hagen Quartet also works closely with composers of its own generation, whether by reviving existing works or by commissioning and premiering new pieces.
The full program for November 1 is as follows:
MOZART: Quartet in G Major, K. 387 SHOSTAKOVICH: Quartet No. 8 in C minor, Opus 110 BRAHMS: Quartet in B-flat Major, Opus 67
