Melos Quartett Vinyl Records

The Melos Quartett was founded in 1965 by four members of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra. They are widely known as one of the leading chamber music ensembles of the 20th century. The quartet has toured extensively, performing across Europe, the United States, and Asia.

The Melos Quartett is renowned for their interpretations of works by composers such as Beethoven, Schubert, and Mozart, but they are also recognized for their interpretations of contemporary composers such as Webern and Schoenberg. Some of their standout albums include "The Great Viennese Masters," "Mozart: String Quartets," and "Beethoven: String Quartets Op. 18."

An interesting fact about the Melos Quartett is that they were the first ensemble to record the complete cycle of Beethoven's string quartets. This feat was accomplished over the course of ten years, from 1967 to 1977.
