Felix Otto Dessoff (1835-1892) was already active as a chapel-master at the age of 19 and could look already back
over a remarkable career when he was appointed to the Court Opera in Vienna in 1860. This is where the paths
of Dessoff and Brahms crossed for the fi rst time, especially since the conductor Dessoff was strongly committed
to Brahms’s works. Their mutual recognition and appreciation found expression in the premiere of Brahms’s First
Symphony in Karlsruhe, for example, with which Brahms entrusted Dessoff. The dedication of the present String
Quartet of Dessoff to Brahms also reveals the bond between the two composers.
Dessoff composed intensively during his period in Karlsruhe. Like Brahms, he had doubts about the value of his
compositions. He therefore sent his F-major String Quartet to Brahms for the latter’s appraisal, only publishing it
after he was sure of Brahms’s approval. The Quartet contains rhythmic, harmonic and performing idiosyncrasies reminiscent
of Brahms in places; it is full of wit and playful joy, convincing the listener through its original, direct charm.
Brahms, on the other hand – the classicist and academician – does not exclusively reveal himself as the preserver
of the string quartet tradition in the work recorded here, but also as an innovator of musical language. Through
the formation of motifs, the logic and economy of phrases and the sometimes hidden beauty of details, Brahms
understands how to do justice to the demanding genre of chamber music and, moreover, to set new standards for
the genre of the string quartet.
The present CD follows as the third part of the series “Brahms and His Contemporaries.” With its interpretation,
the Mandelring Quartet lends a thrillingly musical power of conviction to both string quartets.
