Wiener Konzerthaus Quartet

The Wiener Konzerthaus Quartet was a renowned Austrian string quartet, specifically from Vienna, founded in 1934. The quartet was established by Anton Kamper, the concertmaster of the Wiener Symphoniker, and Erich Weis, the first violist. Initially, the group consisted of Kamper on first violin, Karl Maria Titze on second violin, Erich Weis on viola, and Franz Kvarda on cello. They gained significant success and became associated with the Wiener Konzerthaus, which led to their name. The quartet remained with this lineup until 1958, when changes occurred, including the addition of Walter Weller and Ludwig Beinl. The quartet disbanded in 1967 after Kamper's retirement.

The Wiener Konzerthaus Quartet was known for its expressive performances, particularly in the Viennese late-classical style. They recorded several notable works, including Schubert's string quartets, showcasing their intuitive grasp of the music and responsiveness to each other. Despite their historical significance, there is no recent activity or release information available for this group in the context of the provided releases, which may not be directly associated with the original quartet.
