Throughout his career, Louis Spohr composed works in the string quartet genre, often described as the supreme discipline. No. 36 was his last completed, large-scale string quartet, which Spohr wrote in 1857, two years before his death. It was during this time that Spohr retired involuntarily, which was accompanied by a loss of salary, which plunged him into depression in the last phase of his life. Spohr prevented the quartet from performing, but the present recording shows that it is a work of the highest compositional mastery. His String Quartet No. 31 was composed 11 years earlier and was also highly appreciated by his colleagues Wagner and Mendelssohn because of its sophisticated and well thought-out structure with its finely interwoven counterpoint. In Potpourri No. 4 Spohr uses opera melodies of his great role model Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
