The Cambini Quartett München is a renowned classical music ensemble that has been captivating audiences with their exceptional performances for over two decades. The quartet was founded in 1996 by four accomplished musicians who shared a passion for chamber music and a desire to create a unique sound that would set them apart from other ensembles. The founding members of the Cambini Quartett München were violinists Rüdiger Lotter and Johannes Strasser, violist Hartmut Rohde, and cellist Peter Hörr. All four musicians had impressive resumes and had performed with some of the most prestigious orchestras and ensembles in the world. They came together with the goal of exploring the rich repertoire of chamber music and bringing their own interpretation to the works of the great composers. The quartet takes its name from the French composer Giuseppe Maria Cambini, who was a prolific composer of chamber music in the late 18th century. The quartet's repertoire includes works by Cambini, as well as other composers from the classical and romantic periods, such as Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, and Brahms. One of the hallmarks of the Cambini Quartett München is their commitment to authenticity and historical accuracy. The quartet uses period instruments and plays with a style that is true to the time in which the music was composed. This approach has earned them critical acclaim and a loyal following among classical music enthusiasts. Over the years, the Cambini Quartett München has performed at some of the most prestigious concert halls and festivals in Europe and beyond. They have been invited to perform at the Salzburg Festival, the Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival, the Rheingau Musik Festival, and the Mozartfest Würzburg, among others. They have also toured extensively in Asia, performing in Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. One of the highlights of the quartet's career was their performance at the 2006 Beethovenfest in Bonn, Germany. The festival, which celebrates the life and work of the great composer, is one of the most important classical music events in the world. The Cambini Quartett München was invited to perform Beethoven's complete string quartets over the course of several concerts, a feat that is rarely attempted by any ensemble. The quartet's performances were hailed as a triumph, and they received standing ovations from the audience. In addition to their performances, the Cambini Quartett München has also recorded extensively. They have released several albums on the MDG label, including recordings of the complete string quartets of Mozart and Beethoven. Their recordings have been praised for their technical excellence and their ability to capture the spirit and emotion of the music. The quartet has also been the recipient of numerous awards and honors. In 2001, they were awarded the prestigious Echo Klassik award for their recording of Mozart's string quartets. The Echo Klassik is one of the most important classical music awards in Germany and is given to artists who have made outstanding contributions to the genre. In addition to their performances and recordings, the Cambini Quartett München is also committed to education and outreach. They regularly give masterclasses and workshops for young musicians and have been involved in several educational projects aimed at introducing classical music to a wider audience.
