About
Paul Hindemith wrote seven String Quartets, all of which reflect the experience and practical assurance of a distinguished violinist and, later, violist. No. 2 was written in 1918 whilst he was a soldier on active duty. It’s a bracing, dynamic and pithy work with a clever series of variations which parody romantic excess, and a virtuosic finale. No. 3 followed early in 1920 and was an instant success, a thrilling example of Hindemith’s concise imagination at work. This passionate quartet, with its richly varied material, is one of his supreme chamber masterpieces.

20th May 2012
Beautiful performances by a (Swiss) quartet taking its name from the one Hindemith founded in 1921.
26th July 2012
As the Amar Quartet's performance shows, the Third should be a regular part of the 20th-century quartet repertory.
