The Auryn Quartet was a German string quartet. [1] Founded in 1981, the members were Andreas Arndt (cello), Stewart Eaton (viola), Matthias Lingenfelder (*1959) and Jens Oppermann (*1960), both violin.
After winning several early awards - including the London International Competition (1982), the ARD International Music Competition (1982), and the main prize at the European Broadcasting Competition in Bratislava (1989) - they had the opportunity to treat the classic repertoire in particular depth thanks to the ongoing interactions between the original personnel. [2] [3]
Their recordings include the complete 68 quartets of Haydn [4] and 15 plus the Grosse Fuge by Beethoven. [5] [6]
The quartet disbanded at the end of the 2020–2021 season. [7]
