Info for Insights

A new GENUIN CD with the thrilling Asasello Quartet! It’s the third disc released by the ensemble, known for its unconventional concert ideas, and it has now also made a name for itself as a prizewinner at international competitions. The program features Schoenberg’s amazingly diverse oeuvre for string quartet, and we can’t imagine a more eloquent advocate for these too-rarely performed milestones of the repertoire. From the fringes of tonality in the first quartet to the free-flowing twelve-tone language of the fourth – an electrifying quartet sound played at a staggering level. Experience these soaring peaks of the repertoire!

Asasello-Quartett
Eva Resch, Soprano

Asasello-Quartett
The Asasello Quartet is a European ensemble. Founded in the year 2000 by students in Walter Levin’s chamber music class at the Basel conservatory, the musicians have gone on to make a name for themselves as outstanding interpreters of the classical/Romantic repertoire, modern classical music and more. The founding four completed their formal studies with the Alban Berg Quartett and David Smeyers at the Cologne Hochschule für Musik und Tanz. Numerous accolades and awards as well as project funding grants have allowed the group to realize original concepts and to put new ideas, recording techniques and forms of concertizing into practice. Asasello programs are intelligent and sophisticated; never mainstream. If need be, “the Asasellos” will gladly jump from their chairs or out of their tuxes.

Eva Resch
studied voice at the Würzburg University of Music with Sigune von Osten and stage performance at the Opera Institute of the Karlsruhe University of Music. She pursued further voice training with Eugen Rabine and completed master classes with Peter Konwitschny and Helmut Deutsch.

As an interpreter of contemporary music, Eva Resch has been invited to Mexico, where she performed at the Teatro de Bellas Artes and Cervantino Festival in Guanajuato, and has made guest appearances at the Warsaw National Theater, Malmö Opera, Weimar National Theater, and Bonn Opera. She has sung at the Munich Biennale, Vienna Festival, and Berliner Festspiele, performing works by such contemporary composers as Wolfgang Rihm, Pascal Dusapin, Thomas Ades, and Vladimir Tarnopolski. She has also made appearances at the Rostock Community Theater, the Giessen and Coburg Theaters, and the Theater Vorpommern in Stralsund and Greifswald.

Eva Resch has worked with directors Claus Guth and Werner Schroeter and sung under conductors Franck Ollu, Stefan Asbury, Wolfgang Lischke, and Alicija Mounk.

She also participates with great enthusiasm in chamber music projects, having recently sung Benedict Mason’s “Chaplin Operas” with the Ensemble Modern at the Tchaikovsky Theater in Perm, Russia and the Essen Philharmonie, and performed a pop concert with the exceptional QNG Recorder Quartet. At the same time as this CD, GENUIN is also releasing a recording of Schoenberg’s Second String Quartet, featuring Eva Resch with the Asasello-Quartett.
