Casal Quartett

A world premiere! During their research for the five-part cd production "Beethoven's World 1799-1851" (2020) the Casal Kwartet not only came across Carl Czerny, one of Beethoven's two pupils, who is represented with his 28th String Quartet in A minor, but also the Viennese composer Anton Eberl (1765-1807), who was a friend and pupil of Mozart. As an outstanding pianist and composer he achieved great popularity and even had 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. His music is often surprisingly modern for its time, as evidenced by the excellent recordings of the symphonies by Concerto Köln and the piano sonatas by Luca Quintavalle. Like the late works of Mozart and the works of the new Beethoven, they herald the revolutionary awakening of Romanticism.
