Founded in 1994, the Zehetmair Quartet ranks among the world’s finest string quartets.

Their discography for ECM is highly acclaimed and includes Schumann (Gramophone Record of the Year), Hindemith, Bartók, Holliger, Hartmann and Beethoven, demonstrating their prowess in mainstream repertoire as well as in challenging works of the twentieth century. Their next release for ECM is Brahms Quartets.
