About the artist Quatuor Mosaiques

The members of the Quatuor Mosaiques, Erich Höbarth, Andrea Bischof, Anita Mitterer and Christophe Coin, met in Vienna when they were playing with Concentus Musicus Wien, and it was the great names of the classical Viennese repertoire that brought them together as a quartet. Right from the beginning of the Quartet’s career in 1985, the Mosaiques performances were marked by both a new clarity stemming from their use of period instruments, and a poetic attention to detail that was typical of the central European tradition of chamber music. The approach of the Quatuor Mosaïques strikes a balance between unity of style and the multiplicity of elements that go to make up that style. Works may thus be read on several levels, revealing the richness of the key repertoire of the 18th and 19th centuries. The Quatuor Mosaïques is regularly invited to perform at prestigious venues such as the Musikverein and the Konzerthaus in Vienna, the Wigmore Hall in London, the Théâtre de la Ville and Radio France in Paris, as well as at many of the great music festivals.
