for oboe or flute, violin, viola and violoncello

It is a joy to be able to introduce to oboists two quartets by Friedrich Eugen Thurner: next to Mozart's brilliant masterpiece, they are among the best works written during the 18th/19th century for our instrumentation in this scoring. Heinz Hollige

The two very different quartets, stylistically close to Beethoven, Spohr and even Schubert, display a highly original, individual composer of great expressiver power and skilled craftsmanship.
