"Wow (..) if you want something you'll enjoy so much thats gleefully out of the ordinary that it'll drive you nuts, this is what you want to be hearing. Well done" (Chris Spector, Midwest Record, 2014 USA)

DONAUWELLENREITER are a highly acclaimed Vienna based quartet that has gained recognition at home as well as abroad for both their outstanding live concerts as well as recordings.

After their first two albums "Annäherung" (2012) and "Messëi" (2014, Intuition Records), DONAUWELLENREITER have set out to reach new artistic heights and present "Euphoria", an impressive and highly inspiring new piece of work. The mix of the musical influences and experiences of the individual ensemble members - all of whom also compose and contribute their various style origins such as folklore, pop, jazz, classical, chamber music, world music and more - merges into a mesmerizing, sensually and intellectually stimulating whole. As meticulous as it may be to articulate all the nuances of the quatuor's unique sound and style - the beauty and the clarity of this music can sometimes leave you speechless.

DONAUWELLENREITER succeed in creating equally approachable and demanding modern art music, which also fascinates and inspires listeners who avoid compulsive genre conventions and appreciate quality and artistic substance. Thus, DONAUWELLENREITER find their attentive audience in Germany, Switzerland, Serbia, Portugal or Canada as well as at home in Vienna, the mature urban openness of the city being undoubtedly a basic element and a precondition for the art of this ensemble.
