"The Hagen Quartet, unchallenged at the head of the international string quartet elite since 1981, captivates its listeners again and again. The album “Hagen Quartett 30” was released on the occasion of the ensemble’s 30th anniversary in 2011, which also marked the beginning of the collaboration with the label myrios classics. This gem of chamber music recordings has been produced in the historic Siemensvilla in Berlin and includes works by Beethoven, Mozart, and Webern – three composers of central importance for the ensemble. “Hagen Quartett 30“ has been highly praised by the press and music connoisseurs worldwide and received numerous awards, including the 2011 ECHO KLASSIK, the Fono Forum “Stern des Monats” and the French “Choc de Classica”. The 2023 re-issue of this iconic album captivates with an attractively designed and sustainably printed, plastic-free Pocket Pac. The 28-page booklet is trilingual (English, German, French) and includes the original liner notes as well as an interview with the ensemble members on the occasion of the recording of this anniversary album."
