String Quartets: KV 421 / KV 465 / KV 80

Album by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart & Mozarteum Quartett Salzburg

String Quartets: KV 421 / KV 465 / KV 80 is a collection of string quartets by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, composed between circa 1770 and 1785. Musically, the set traces Mozart's development in chamber music from his early classical idioms to his more mature quartet writing, characterised by Classical-era clarity, balanced textures, lyrical interplay among the instruments and moments of harmonic and contrapuntal complexity that mark his advancing compositional voice in music history.

First released: 2006
