Information

Inhalt

The Kolisch Quartet was initially established in the early 1920s as the “Wiener Streichquartett” (Vienna String Quartet). After reforming in 1927 the quartet took the name of its founder, Rudolf Kolisch. As a longstanding acquaintance and since 1924 also the composer’s brother-in-law, Kolisch was among the closest authorities on Schönberg’s œuvre and also one of the most important protagonists of the performance theory of the Viennese School: “The balance of the artwork lies in its rendering. […] Vitality is not created out of the customary outward temperament […], but out of imagination, intellectual temperament, the intensity with which every figure is given its characteristic form.” (Rudolf Kolisch, „Schönberg as a re-creation artist“, 1924)

Besides the works for quartet in the Viennese School and other contemporary works, the ensemble regularly performed genre classics. In September 1938 they recorded Mozart’s quartet in B flat major K. 589 for RCA Victor in Hollywood. In the Finale there is audible variation in the phrasing of the Rondo refrain, depending on its function in the texture: as a unified theme, as part of the development process, or as a transition. After several changes in its players, the Kolisch Quartet disbanded in 1944 owing to the difficult economic situation in the USA. (Text: Arnold Schönberg Center)
