This CD, the second in the series “Brahms and His Contemporaries”, offers a straight comparison between the
String Quartets of Brahms and Herzogenberg. It becomes strikingly clear that although Herzogenberg was inspired
by Brahms he was not completely eclipsed by the great composer. The above quotation refl ects the glowing
admiration that Heinrich von Herzogenberg felt throughout his life for Johannes Brahms. Overshadowed by the
10 year older composer, he found it hard to gain the recognition he deserved. He himself played some part in this
situation, since he never concealed his almost servile admiration of Brahms. Herzogenberg composed his three
String Quartets Op. 42 at the age of 40. Brahms had been much the same age when he composed his third String
Quartet in B fl at Op.67, which was to be his last in this genre.
Although there are many parallels between the two string quartets of Brahms and Herzogenberg, Herzogenberg
is basically orientated towards classical string quartet models. In the G minor String Quartet Op. 42 recorded
here he treats his thematic material with inventiveness and skill, providing many a surprising twist and permitting
himself some unconventional structural innovations. The work is dynamic and zestful, the expressive power of the
two middle movements being particularly captivating.
The outer movements of Brahms’s String Quartet in B fl at Op. 67 are classical in approach; he plays with
confl icting rhythms and achieves subtle sound effects through his command of the means at his disposal. The fi nale
is a set of variations threaded through with counterpoint – a feature that perhaps shows, as in works by him in
other genres, that he has now fi nished experimenting with the string quartet.
This CD presents the premiere recording of Herzogenberg’s String Quartet in G minor. As performed by the
Mandelring Quartett the music of both composers becomes an enthralling listening experience.
