Description:

The most faithful sound to the original Eterna sound of "The Art of ETERNA in Charlatten, Germany"! The third volume of King International's new series "The Art of Deutsche Charlplatten ETERNA", newly digitally mastered from master tapes to reproduce as closely as possible the sound of Eterna's analog recordings of Mozart's Vienna String Quartets in their heyday, performed by the Zuske Quartet. The third release in King International's new series "The Art of Deutsche Charlatten ETERNA" is the complete works of Mozart's Vienna String Quartets (KV168 - KV173) performed by the Zuske Quartet. Yoichi Takani, owner of the vintage record store Eterna Trading and the man behind the spread of ETERNA records in Japan, was invited to supervise the project, and in order to achieve the best possible sound quality faithful to the analog records, the master tapes stored at King Records, which were inherited from Tokuma, were used for SACD. The mastering process took three times longer than usual for SACD from the master tapes stored at King Records. The commentary by Mr. Takani includes the history and evolution of the Zuske Quartet, the Zuske Quartet "ETERNA recordings and LP discography," and other information that makes for a rich reading experience.Mozart composed a total of 23 string quartets. The six works recorded here were written during his stay in Vienna in the summer of 1773, and the series is called the "Vienna Quartets" after the place of composition. The Zuske Quartet was formed in 1965. The leader and first violinist, Carl Zuske, was born in 1934 in Reichenberg in the former German province of Sdeten (now Liberec in the Czech Republic), and studied at the Weimar College of Music and the Leipzig Conservatory with Gerhard Bosse. In 1962, he moved to Berlin to become the first concertmaster of the Berlin State Opera Orchestra, where he formed the Zuske Quartet with members of the same orchestra, which became known in Western Europe, the U.S., and Japan as one of the best quartets of the former East Germany. The quartet became known as one of the best quartets in the former East Germany in Western Europe, the U.S., and Japan.When Karl Zuske returned to his old position with the Gewandhaus Orchestra in 1975 (officially in 1977), Wolf-Dieter Batzdorff, the new first concertmaster of the Berlin State Opera Orchestra, became the new leader of the quartet, which took on the new name "Berlin String Quartet". Karl Zuske was the first concertmaster of the Gewandhaus Orchestra until 2001, and at the same time was the leader of the Gewandhaus String Quartet for many years. King International
