Biography
The Hungarian String Quartet was a classical musical ensemble formed in Budapest in 1935. Originally known as the New Hungarian Quartet, the founding members were Sándor Végh, Péter Szervánszky, Dénes Koromzay, and Pál Hermann. In 1937, Zoltán Székely joined as first violinist. The group performed the Hungarian premiere of the âBartók 5th Quartetâ, which they studied with the composer. During World War II, the ensemble remained in the Netherlands and studied the quartets of Beethoven. The quartet settled in the United States in 1950. Their recordings include the Beethoven Cycle (1953 and 1966) and the Schubert album Quartet in D minor 'Death and the Maiden' D 810. Later members included Alexandre Moszkowsky, Vilmos Palotai, Mihály Kuttner, and Gábor Magyar. In 1957, the group performed for the Peabody Mason Concert series in Boston. The ensemble became inactive in 1972.
