专辑简介：
阿玛迪斯弦乐四重奏团（Amadeus Quartet）是二十世纪最伟大的四重奏团之一。该四重奏团于1947年在英国成立，由三位因为二战流亡到英国的维也纳音乐家——小提琴家Norbert Brainin、Siegmund Nissel，中提琴家Peter Schidlof与英国大提琴家Martin Lovett组成。阿玛迪斯弦乐四重奏团以擅长演奏维也纳乐派，如莫扎特、海顿、贝多芬、舒伯特的作品闻名于世，几乎成为此类作品演奏的典范。英国作曲家布里顿曾将其第三号弦乐四重奏题献给该团。阿玛迪斯弦乐四重奏团的演奏保持着欧洲贵族的高贵、典雅、自然、脱俗的风范，演奏从来不会勉强和突兀，更不会做作。他们非常讲究室内乐，尤其是弦乐四重奏的那种默契的配合，第一小提琴Norbert Brainin在行内可以说德高望重，但是他们的演奏从来不会突出哪个演奏者，四位演奏者在音色、分句、节奏的处理可以说达到水乳交融的境界。
他们在组成的时候约定，如果他们四位有哪位离开了，这个重奏团不会换人，以保持他们合作的高度的默契性。果然，中提琴家Peter Schidlof在1987年去世后，阿玛迪斯弦乐四重奏宣告解散，转向教学，现在他们的大师班，是每一位室内乐演奏者梦寐以求的学习机会。对乐迷来说，曾经象呼吁歌星复出那样等候他们重新组合，但是他们一直信守着成立时候的诺言。“阿玛迪斯”可能是现在唱片上最红的那些弦乐四重奏团里，唯一没有更换过成员的。“阿玛迪斯”可以说代表着弦乐四重奏的一个境界，在他们之后，已经没有可以超越他们的重奏团了。
在唱片上，“阿玛迪斯”的代表作就是他们在DGG公司录制的贝多芬弦乐四重奏全集的录音。记得笔者在观摩着名的弦乐四重奏专家丁芷诺教授的贝多芬四重奏的大师班后，问丁教授，她认为贝多芬四重奏最全面和最具代表性的录音是哪套，她的回答是：“Amadeus！”。贝多芬弦乐四重奏演奏的难度实在是太大了。笔者以前认为，一个钢琴演奏家在录音的那个阶段是很难把贝多芬全套钢琴奏鸣曲每一首都弹得最好，一个人在一个特定的时候是很难把另外一个人的一生都诠释得最得体，总会带上演奏者自己的色彩与观点。
而弦乐四重奏的时间跨度和表现的幅度，比钢琴奏鸣曲尤甚。一个四重奏团几乎是不可能把每一个方面都做得最好的，尤其是晚期的四重奏，每个演奏团之间的演绎差别更是相当大。每个重奏团都有自己的长处和短处，不同的演奏在诠释的效果上是互补的。这也是为什么乐迷需要有多个贝多芬的弦乐四重奏的多个版本的原因之一。
