Amadeus Quartet
The Amadeus Quartet was a renowned string quartet that was active from 1947 to 1987. The quartet was noted for its sophisticated and smooth style of playing, as well as its sensitive interpretation of music. They performed extensively, touring Europe, Canada, the United States, Japan, and South America. They made approximately 200 recordings, including the complete quartets of Beethoven, Brahms, and Mozart. The quartet was awarded numerous honors, including Doctorates from the Universities of London, York, and Caracas, and the highest of all German awards, the Great Cross of Merit. The Amadeus Quartet disbanded upon the death of its violist, Peter Schidlof, as the members had agreed to disband if any of them left or passed away.
