Quatuor Loewenguth

**Quatuor Loewenguth** was a French string quartet founded in 1929 by violinist Alfred Loewenguth, quickly establishing itself as a leading ensemble in 20th-century chamber music. Known for their polished interpretations of French composers like Fauré and Roussel, the quartet also excelled in classical works by Haydn and Mozart, balancing technical precision with warm, expressive performances. Their recordings, spanning from the 1930s to the 1960s, became reference versions for many chamber music enthusiasts, particularly their championing of lesser-known French repertoire.

Though the original lineup disbanded after Alfred Loewenguth’s death in 1983, their legacy lives on through reissues and archival releases, showcasing their knack for blending clarity with emotional depth. Recent compilations like *Loewenguth Quartet, Vol. 1: Haydn & Mozart* and explorations of works by Vachon and Dalayrac highlight their enduring appeal and commitment to both canonical gems and overlooked treasures of the chamber music world.
