Accompaning the release of Mendelssohn: Complete Chamber Music for Strings Vol. III from the Mandelring Quartett series we present a short video. It gives impressions of the recording session for the Mendelssohn octet with the Quartetto di Cremona.
After the first volume of the edition E. Grieg: Complete Symphonic Works had already been decorated by the british trade magazine Gramophone, now the third volume of this series also got a "Gramophone Choice" which is given to the best classical releases in the month.
The new audite series The RIAS Amadeus Quartet Recordings, whose first volume documents nearly the complete cycle of Beethoven's string quartets recorded between 1950 and 1967, is now added by an radio interview from the eighties. The musicians of the Amadeus Quartet talk about their foundation and nature of the genre string quartet.
Here you can listen to the interview!

The audite anniversary event on June 23rd in the Bertelsmann Representative Office Berlin was a great success!

Speakers were Michael Haefliger (Artistic and Executive Director LUCERNE FESTIVAL), Siegwald Bütow (Orchestra Manager WDR-Sinfonieorchester), Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Rathert (Universität Mücnchen) and Stefan Lang (Deutschlandradio Kultur). Remy Franck, Editor-in-Chief of pizzicato and Jury Chairman of the ICMA, led through the press conference and also presented the ICMA Award Label of the Year 2013 which audite received in March in Milan. Musically the press conference was embraced by appearances of the Mandelring Quartett and the Piano Duo Mona & Rica Bard.
We celebrate 40 successful years on June 23rd in the company of invited guests in the Bertelsmann Repräsentanz Berlin, where we also present our anniversary releases.
