Mozart String Quartets: Viennese Quartets

Mozart: Viennese Quartets marks the final volume in the Engegård Quartet’s ambitious and deeply personal journey through Mozart’s complete string quartets. The six works featured here—K.168 to K.173—were composed in Vienna in 1773, a period of artistic growth and experimentation for the young composer. These quartets reveal Mozart’s increasing command of form and texture, blending elegance with emotional complexity and a bold sense of invention. The music ranges from the lyrical and introspective to the playful and exuberant, with each quartet offering its own distinct character. The Engegård Quartet approaches these works with stylistic insight and expressive depth, illuminating Mozart’s subtle shifts in mood and structure. Their interpretation is marked by clarity, warmth and a finely tuned ensemble sound that brings out the full richness of the Viennese style. This release not only completes a major recording project but also celebrates the timeless vitality of Mozart’s chamber music.
