By Camesina Quartett. By Johann Baptist Vanhal. Classical. CD. Naxos #MMB419. Published by Naxos (NX.MMB419).

This new release from the Camesina Quartet features three world premiere recordings of string quartets by Johann Baptist Vanhal (1739-1813). When the Camesina String Quartet formed in 2007, one of its mutual concerns was to once again dare a little more purism. While other similar ensembles have long returned to modern playing techniques and accessories, and while the label "historical performance practice" is mostly limited to the use of gut strings, the Camesina String Quartet tries to approach historical sound, not only through the study and application of sources, but also through a constant questioning and pioneering spirit, never succumbing to a mere imitation of currently prevailing taste. Since its foundation the Camesina Quartet has been a regular guest at the Haydn Festival Lukavince/Pilsen, and many other concert venues in Germany and Europe, amongst others it appeared in the Early Music series in the Berlin Musical Instruments Museum and the Wildt'sche Haus in Basel/Switzerland.
