The Schumann Quartets

Released in October 2019 on Azica Records, this recording comprises Schumann’s three string quartets. Written in 1842, the three quartets mark the apotheosis of his development as a composer.

  • “In my opinion, the four musicians of the Dover Quartet unite all the cardinal virtues of modern quartet playing: it starts with a sparklingly clean intonation and ends with the intellectual and aesthetic penetration of the works. … The quartet’s new Schumann CD is a reference for me. Within the perfect, finely listened-to chamber music set-up, the quartet captivates with the very robust solo approach of all four musicians. … The four musicians of the Dover Quartet have now reached the top of the Quartet Olympus.”
