----------------------------------------------------------------------------

George Onslow (27 July 1784 – 3 October 1853) was a French composer of English descent. His wealth, position and personal tastes allowed him to pursue a path unfamiliar to most of his French contemporaries, and more similar to that of his contemporary German romantic composers. Onslow was a prolific composer of chamber music (including 36 string quartets, 34 string quintets and 10 piano trios). He also wrote four symphonies, four operas and other works for piano and strings. Esteemed by many of the critics of his time, his reputation declined swiftly after his death and has only been revived in recent years.

The Mandelring Quartet was founded in 1983 in Neustadt (Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany), and currently consists of Sebastian, Nanette and Bernhard Schmidt siblings, as well as their friend Andreas Willwohl. They won major competitions such as the Premio Paolo Borciani and the Munich ARD competition, and  since then have performed in many well-known concert halls all over the world. The ensemble has recorded numerous CDs that have won the German Record Critics' Award and nominated for Cannes Classical Award. The Quartet Quartet is also the founder and artistic director of the Hambacher Musikfest festival.

  2. Hello,
    I fear that all Onslow's links are dead.
    Is there any chance you could reupload at least some of them? would be great. It's a composer that I discovered thanks to your blog back then. Had a hard disk crash meanwhile and... well..
    Your blog is wonderful.
