    Wigmore Hall performance of Mozart's B flat string quartet K589, by the Schubert Quartet (it's a little confusing to name your string quartet
    after a string quartet composer, but never mind).

    It's the piece with the extended cello solo in the 2nd movement,
    intended for the Kind of Prussia, a cello amateur. The socalled Prussian quartets are among Mozart's very best.

    They play with short classical era bows. The violist Teresa Schwamm is excellent, she just has this annoying way of holding her instrument like
    a beard (straight ahead). However it doesn't hurt her playing.

    Sorry, I was mistaken. The 589 is performed by the Armida Quartett, a
    German band.

    The Schubert Quartet, a Spanish band consisting of members of the
    Galicia and Malaga symphony orchestras, however, performs the F major K
    590, in a more traditional style.

    "The 589 is performed by the Armida Quartett, a
    German band."

    The Armida Quartett (Berlin) is recording all of WAM's string quartets
    using the new Henle Urtext which has corrected a lot of errors,
    especially in the early pieces.

    They play on modern instruments but use the somewhat shorter bows of the
    era; they employ vibrato as an expressive device rather than as a
    constant.
