The Hagen Quartet, consisting of the siblings Lukas, Veronika and Clemens
Hagen along with the violinist Rainer Schmidt, attracted great attention
and scored impressive successes while its members were still students at
the Salzburg Mozarteum. Their international career began with their
appearance at the Lockenhaus Chamber Music Festival in 1981. The quartet is
now internationally known for its inspired performances, especially of
works by Mozart. The Hagen Quartet performs Maurice Ravel's F-major String
Quartet with otherworldly sensuality while keeping it touchingly of this
world.
