About this product
The Complete Recordings on Deutsche Grammophon is a seven-CD box set by the Czech Janáček Quartet, issued by Deutsche Grammophon in its Original Masters series under catalogue number 474 010-2.[2][3] It gathers string quartets by Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven, Dvořák, Smetana and Janáček, Mendelssohn's Octet with the Smetana Quartet, and piano quintets by Brahms and Dvořák with the pianist Eva Bernáthová, recorded between 1956 and 1963 for Deutsche Grammophon, Decca and Westminster.[4] MusicBrainz dates the first release to 2 December 2002, and Deutsche Grammophon lists the same UPC for its 2017 re-release of the series.[3][5][6]
More about this product
The quartet was founded in 1947 by students at the Brno Conservatory and took Leoš Janáček's name in 1949; its line-up stayed unchanged from 1952 until the death of the first violinist Jiří Trávníček in 1973.[7] The old Barcodepedia listed this barcode in 2007 as "JANACEK QUARTET - COMPLETE DG RECORDINGS".[8]
