Eybler Quartet Continues Fascinating Mission To Bring to Light Little-Known Composers of the Classical Era
Toronto's Eybler Quartet is internationally-renowned for brilliant performances as well as for an unquenchable passion for delving deep into the works of obscure composers of the Classical era, such as Vanhal, Backofen, and Eybler. The period-instrument ensemble has also attracted attention for uncovering gleaming new revelations from the “big three” Classical composers – Mozart, Haydn and Beethoven – earning raves, while ruffling a few feathers among traditionalists.
CORO Connections Releases The Eybler Quartet's Refreshing Beethoven
CORO Connections presents a new recording by the acclaimed Eybler Quartet, featuring Beethoven's first three works for string quartet, Op. 18, nos. 1-3. The Toronto-based ensemble was founded in 2004 to explore the works of the first century-and-a-half of the string quartet repertoire and plays on instruments appropriate to the period of the music it performs. The Eybler Quartet has been widely praised for their committed, lively, and energizing performances, and razor-sharp ensemble skills. Adding to their superb discography, which includes music by Mozart and Haydn as well as lesser-known composers like Vanhal and their namesake Joseph Leopold Eybler, the group's new Beethoven album will be released on March 2.
