• Felix Draeseke: String Quartet nr. 3 in c#, op 66 (1895)
• Felix Draeseke: Suite for Two Violins, op. 86 (1911)

Following our release of Draeseke's first two string quartets (DR0011) is this recording, now scheduled for release in mid-2008, of Draeseke's third, and final, quartet coupled with the composer's Suite for Two Violins, op. 86 (1911). With this recording, all of Draeseke's chamber works will be available on CD.

The Hölderlin String Quartet was formed in 2005 and presents performances of the string quartet repertoire at the highest level. Each of the individual members enjoys a broadly diverse musical knowledge and innumerable instances as soloist and as members of other chamber music and orchestral groups. Finely delineated and nuanced interpretations delivered with infectious energy characterize the playing of these young artists. The quartet has played throughout Germany including concert performances of the three quartets of Felix Draeseke in 2007.
