About The Record:

Mozart: The Complete String Quintets, by Heinz-Otto Graf, is a recording featuring the Heutling Quartet with Graf as the second violist, presenting all six of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's string quintets (K.174, K.406, K.515, K.516, K.593, and K.614), which are among the composer's most profound chamber works and historically significant for their innovative use of two violas to enrich texture and emotional depth. A unique aspect is the collaboration between the Hanover-based Heutling Quartet and Graf, capturing a warm, elegant interpretation from the mid-20th century that highlights the dramatic contrasts in pieces like the G minor K.516, often regarded as one of Mozart's darkest and most passionate chamber compositions. Fan-favorites frequently include the majestic C major K.515 and the brooding G minor K.516 for their expressive intensity and masterful development. The performances emphasize clarity and balance in these masterpieces of Classical chamber music.
