The Alinde Quartet has made a name for itself internationally as an outstanding string formation on both modern and period instruments. Named after Franz Schubert's song "Alinde", its music is the great passion of the quartet, which is working on a complete recording of all string quartets up to the 200th anniversary of the composer's death in 2028. As a 14-year-old, he wrote the C minor Overture, which, with its orchestral sound effects and many a dissonance, already anticipates echoes of his late work. Luigi Boccherini's 90 or so string quartets, on the other hand, are characterized by the lightness of the Italian style and make him one of the pioneers of the genre alongside Joseph Haydn. Juan Crisóstomo de Arriaga, who died in 1826 at the age of just 19, is also known as the "Spanish Mozart". His String Quartet in D minor captivates with numerous echoes of his Basque homeland. With its energetic playing, the Alinde Quartet combines Italian esprit, Viennese elegance and Spanish temperament to create a lively, highly virtuoso journey through a genre that was soon to become the royal genre par excellence.
