Vogler String Quartet

The Vogler Quartet, founded in East Berlin in 1985, has spent over three decades charming audiences with their warm, dynamic sound and adventurous programming. Formed by four students from the Hanns Eisler Academy of Music—Tim Vogler (violin), Frank Reinecke (violin), Stefan Fehlandt (viola), and Stephan Forck (cello)—they’ve become best known for their acclaimed Dvořák cycle, releasing five volumes of his string quartets. But don’t peg them as classical purists! Their discography swings from Respighi’s romanticism to Kurt Weill’s jazzy edges and Jörg Widmann’s modern textures, plus deep dives into lesser-known composers like Georgy Catoire. Whether collaborating with stars like pianist Lars Vogt or unearthing hidden gems, the quartet balances technical precision with infectious energy, making them equally at home in Beethoven’s quartets or Kagel’s avant-garde experiments. They’ve stayed refreshingly curious since their Cold War-era beginnings, proving that string quartets can be both timeless and full of surprises.
