About

Coming together in their student days in Weimar, the Klenke Quartett made their stage debut in 1994. Since then they have been in the front rank of German quartets while possessing an inimitable character that never fails to amaze audience and critics alike. These four gifted young women possess an enviable combination of virtues, combining clarity and colour, transparency and homogeneity, authenticity and passion.

This live recording of Joseph Haydn’sSeven Last Words” is a particularly impressive example of their art as a quartet: one brief hour of deeply moving music that filled the Herderkirche in Weimar and drew its listeners into meditation on the Passion of Jesus. This has captured something that cannot be attained in the studio, a moment of exaltation, experienced as such by the ensemble themselves.

This famous female formation cultivates an altogether lean, pleasantly transparent ensemble sound, which unquestionably benefits from the achievements of historically informed performance practice - and at the same time brings numerous sensuously beautiful moments into flower.” - Fono Forum 02/07
