DVD is NTSC and region-free. Helmut Lachenmann presents a DVD release titled String Quartets. Helmut Lachenmann on the wonderful performers of the piece, Stadler Quartett: "Meeting and working with the musicians of the Stadler Quartett: one of my most precious memories and experiences - accuracy and euphony, even and especially in the 'extraterritorial' realm of noise and reverberations, and finally, along with their willingness to probe new performance techniques: inspired music-making and exquisite artistry. In short, everything needed to make an audience alert and attentive - and a composer happy. One cannot express gratitude, words are bound to fail." Sound format: PCM 2.0 Stereo. Picture format: 16:9. Total playing time: 76 minutes.

On November 27, 2015, the musical world celebrates Helmut Lachenmann's 80th birthday. Is he a new music composer, or already a classic? For NEOS the answer is clear -- a classic. Times have changed from the days when almost all soloists and even whole orchestras refused to play his works due to anxiety about damaging their instruments. In reality they were simply not used to Lachenmann's new musical language, which asked for unusual playing techniques and a different kind of listening to one another. At that time NEOS's former label, col legno, pioneered recordings of Lachenmann, and a lot of people told them they were crazy. It was clear to the label that they had to release some of Lachenmann's orchestral works in view of the celebration of his 80th birthday. This hybrid SACD is one of two released for the occasion (alongside NEOS 11424CD) featuring the famous Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra (ranking number 6 in the world according to Gramophone). This edition features Ausklang, Musik für Klavier mit Orchester (1984/1985) performed by the orchestra with the outstanding pianist Pierre-Laurent Aimard, conducted by Jonathan Nott.
