Eberl: 3 String Quartets op. 13

Casal Quartett

SM 391

A world premiere recording!

In the course of research for the five-part CD production "Beethoven's World 1799-1851" (2020), the Casal Quartet came across not only Carl Czerny, one of Beethoven's two students, who is represented with his 28th String Quartet in A flat major, but also the Viennese composer Anton Eberl (1765-1807), who was a friend and student of Mozart. As an outstanding pianist and composer, he achieved great popularity and had even more prominent followers than Beethoven after his return to Vienna from St. Petersburg. His life ended unexpectedly at the height of his success in 1807, and his music, as shown by the excellent recordings of the symphonies by Concerto Köln and the piano sonatas by Luca Quintavalle, is often surprisingly modern for its time. Like Mozart's late works and the works of the new Beethoven, they herald the revolutionary dawn of Romanticism.
