"They took their name from the amulet in Michael Ende’s “Neverending Story”, and their playing is equally intuitive, secretive, spiritual and polished when they perform the three string quartets by Schumann. The Auryn Quartet has been established at the top of international quartets for almost twenty years now, and this recording is once more a masterpiece of select, well-balanced quartet art."

Walter Braunfels was one of those all-too-ubiquitous figures in the German musical world of the 1920s and early '30s, who – through no fault of his, and even less of his music – managed to go from the center of the musical world to near-complete-obscurity as a composer. And that obscurity lingered for decades after his death in 1954, until the end of the twentieth century, when he was belatedly rediscovered

Haydn himself was in a particularly heightened state of awareness when he commenced writing his Op. 33 String Quartets, even going so far as to suggest in a letter to music-loving friends that these quartets were 'composed in an entirely new and special way'. It had been ten years since he last wrote for the medium (his Op. 20), and he had learned many things since that time, producing a series of wonderful symphonies and a number of operas.

Out of curiosity, we asked the 'artificial intelligence' to write a press release for the latest new release. Question for the AI: Please write a press release for a CD with the complete works for violin and piano by Gabriel Fauré in a length of approx. 75 words. Matthias Lingenfelder, violin and Peter Orth, piano.
