Description

Vienna is revealed here as a territory of memory and transformation, where the Quatuor Hermès brings into dialogue the voices of Mozart, Webern, and Korngold. Through this Viennese journey, the musicians weave connections between eras, allowing the classical heritage to resonate on the threshold of modernity.

From the troubled lyricism of Mozart’s Quartet in D minor to Webern’s suspended confidences, and on to the lush, almost cinematic colours of Korngold, each work unfolds with striking narrative force. The playing, deeply vocal and expressive, reveals a twilight Vienna shaped by nostalgia, tension, and flashes of light.

A powerful and sensitive album, in which the string quartet becomes the witness to a world in transition, poised between farewell and renewal.
