The Mozart Piano Quartet plays a wide range of classical music, and has recorded works by composers such as Beethoven (The Piano Quartet Op. 16 and the Eroica Symphony arranged by Ferdinand Ries), the quartets of Richard Strauss and Antonín Dvořák, as well as the multi award-winning premiere recordings of the great piano quartets by Mélanie Bonis, and Camille Saint-Saëns, which won 'Best Chamber America', 'Editors's Choice' in Gramophone Magazine. There have, as well, been many live radio broadcasts, recordings and productions in places like Germany, the United States, Spain, Italy, Brazil, and Australia.[2][3]
