French string quartet Quatuor Arod follows its acclaimed first album of Mendelssohn with a foray into fin de siècle Vienna, performing three closely interconnected works. Schoenberg was a student of Zemlinsky’s who fell in love with and married his teacher’s sister Mathilde; Webern later studied with Schoenberg. This intimate network of connections was profoundly shaken when a young artist friend of the Schoenbergs committed suicide in 1908 after a tragic affair with Mathilde, who died of cancer 15 years later.
