Mandelring Quartett

The Mandelring Quartett, a German chamber ensemble founded in 1983, has carved out a stellar reputation for its vibrant interpretations of classical and romantic repertoire. Composed of siblings Sebastian Schmidt (violin), Nanette Schmidt (violin), and Bernhard Schmidt (viola), alongside cellist Roland Glassl (since 2021, following previous members), this family-rooted group blends technical precision with deep emotional insight. Their discography—like their recent *Shostakovich: The Complete String Quartets* and multi-volume *Mendelssohn* collections—showcases their passion for tackling monumental cycles with fresh energy. They’ve also collaborated with luminaries like clarinetist Karl Leister (featured on their Brahms clarinet chamber music album) and earned accolades including the ECHO Klassik Award. Whether unearthing rarities (like La Tombelle’s quartet paired with Ravel) or reinvigorating warhorses, the Mandelring’s recordings on the Audite label remain a gold standard for chamber music lovers worldwide.
