ロゼ弦楽四重奏団
Rosé String Quartet - Beethoven #14 in C# minor, Op. 131
Recorded in 1927.
Pretty good composition for a deaf geezer.
From an out-of-print Biddulph Records 2 CD set, Arnold Rosé and the Rosé String Quartet - works by Back and Beethoven. You can buy it used through Amazon from $92.50 - $182.41 or listen to it on my channel for free. Gosh, I hate to undercut those sellers.
1. Adagio ma non troppo e molto espressivo
2. Allegro molto vivace

Arnold Josef Rosé (born Rosenblum, 24 October 1863, Iaşi -- 25 August 1946, London) was a Romanian-born Austrian Jewish violinist. He was leader of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra for over half a century. He worked closely with Brahms. Gustav Mahler was his brother-in-law. Although not known internationally as a soloist he was a great orchestral leader (concertmaster) and player of chamber music, leading the famous Rosé Quartet for several decades.
For more than half a century Rosé was at the center of musical life in Vienna - and even then, it took Hitler's Anschluss of 1938 to displace him. Rosé's destiny was intimately bound up with the two most controversial figures in Viennese music at the turn of the century, Gustav Mahler and Arnold Schoenber; and he represented the final glory of the 19th-century Viennese string style.
In 1881 he was made leader of the Vienna Court Opera. This orchestra, in unique Viennese tradition, played both in the orchestra pit and on the concert platform, and were the parent of the Vienna Philharmonic orchestra. He remained leader of these two venerable institutions until the 1930s. His reputation as an orchestral leader became legendary. For Sir Adrian Boult he was quite simply "Europe's greatest orchestral leader of his time".
Two years later founded his quartet which was considered - not least by Brahms - superior to Hellmesberger's, in other words, the best of it's time. Rosé, who wed Mahler's sister Justine in 1902 (his cellist brother Eduard was already married to the composer's youngest sister Emma), played Goldmark and other contemporary composers as well as the Classics. From 1888 to 1896 he led the Bayreuth Festival Orchestra and when his own organization appeared in concert as the Vienna Philharmonic.
The Rosé family lived in comfortable circumstances, but life was never to be easy for Jews anywhere in Europe. Emperor Franz Josef had guaranteed "freedom of religion and conscience" in 1867, but the reality was often different. They had two children: Alfred (1902-1975), who became a pianist and conductor, and Alma (1906-1944) who was a very successful violinist, but whose career took a highly tragic turn as she ended up directing an orchestra of prisoners in the concentration camp of Auschwitz-Birkenau. She eventually died in the camp.
Justine Rosé died on 22 August 1938. Arnold was devastated by her death. Unable to continue living under Nazi occupation, he left Vienna four weeks later and travelled via Holland to England where he spent the last six years of his life. He continued to play chamber music with Buxbaum and other colleagues. His last appearances were in 1945; thus his career stretched over 65 years. After he learned the terrible news of Alma's death at Birkenau, he found it difficult to continue with his work, and died soon afterward. He published editions of the violin sonatas of Bach and Beethoven and of Beethoven's Quartets op 18.
