The double album String Quartets by aDevantgarde Composers is the debut release of the young ensemble, whose members are graduates of the Munich University of Music and Theatre. The works collected on this album from the years 1997-2019 are a passionate plea for the string quartet genre and open up 13 very different musical worlds. The stylistic spectrum ranges from microtonal sound pieces to compositions with late Romantic echoes.
