Product Information
Recording on our partner label CAvi Music, the Pleyel Quartett Köln announce their upcoming album, on which are joined by cellist Helga Löhrer to perform two string works by August Klughardt.
Born in 1847 in Köthen, Klughardt’s love of music was instilled early on through his father, a viola player. When starting regular piano lessons at the age of ten, being taught both in music theory and practice by the best musicians the city had to offer, the foundations were laid for a broad spectrum of musical activity. Performing on the piano, composing and conducting played equal parts in his musical personality throughout his life.
Listen to a pre-release track of the moving third movement of Klughardt’s String Quintet in G Minor. The full album is released digitally on 13 February and is now available for pre-order.
