107 CD / Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Flötenquartette
Description
Gaede Trio meets Wolfgang Schulz. Mozart's Flute Quartets are far from easy to play. Although they are extremely popular for home playing, they hold a lot of difficulties for the players, not least the instruction to make the music sound light and effortless like child's play. This "naive joyousness" which they convey might have contributed to their reputation of not being the height of Mozart's creativity. And yet they are true jewels, both of melodic inspiration and witty dialogue between the instruments.
"You can’t play Mozart with more beauty than this." (AZ)

Enjoy the music –
(...) Tacet (...) releases audiophile quality music on both high-resolution DVD-Audio and CD digital formats. Their new release, features Mozart′s Flute Quartets that are both musically beautiful and challenging to play. This recording was made at a remote monastery in the Austrian mountains.
To quote Tacet
"The musicians do not only play structurally clear music but also love emotional interpretations - as one recalls them from the great musicians of the past: for many listeners today that is a completely new and impressive experience. It is refreshingly stimulating to listen to a Tacet production. The Tacet sound is something quite special: it is audiophile and does not kill the music. That is why many musicians see Tacet as "their" label. Tacet is kind both to the music and the musicians! And is therefore of course listener-friendly." Catalog number D107 is the Mozart Flutequartets/Gaede Trio while T107 is the CD equivalent."
Hessisch Niedersächsische Allgemeinene Zeitung –
Musicians in a string trio often compensate for the missing fourth member of a standard quartet with overzealous commitment. Not so with Daniel Gaede (violin), Thomas Selditz (viola), and Andreas Greger (cello). Their five-star production certificate is justified by their exhaustive exploration of three-part harmony, supreme instrumental ease, and enchanting unity. The overall profile emerges from savoring every nuance.
A contradiction? Only in the sense that true emotional unity in great music arises precisely from contrasts pushed to their limits and then balanced. This deserves to be called perfection. Part of that is the program selection on this CD—at first glance "dissonant," yet, when heard as a whole, harmonious.

The Gaede Trio’s ascent continues unabated. Joined by Wolfgang Schulz, solo flutist of the Vienna Philharmonic, the trio’s string players have taken on Mozart’s flute quartets—and emerged triumphant on every front. For fifty minutes, they perform a high-wire act, balancing playful lightness, profound depth, and technical discipline of the highest professional caliber. Mozart simply cannot be played more beautifully.

Mozart usually sounds unmistakable. Recording his flute quartets with such crystalline precision will soon earn this Gaede Trio CD the same distinction. Of course, Wolfgang Schulz is primarily to "blame" for this. Finding fault with the playing of the Austrian solo flutist—whose many recordings have won top prizes—is simply impossible. His string colleagues match him in precision in every way, taking turns shining in the variation movements of the G-major and C-major quartets. Together, they convey a joy of playing that makes Mozart’s pieces for his (somewhat unloved) flute more than just charming. It’s a delight to ponder Mozart’s instructions for the third movement of the A-major Quartet’s "Rondieaoux": ‘Allegretto grazioso, mà non troppo presto, però non troppo adagio. Còsi-còsi – con molto garbo ed espressione.’ And to reflect on how the Gaede Trio has done everything incredibly right.
