A lot has happened since the release of Euphoria at the end of 2016 - two more recordings have been released, the successful commissioned work 'Donauwellenreiter Play Gianmaria Testa' in 2017 and the vinyl LP 'Euphoria Live' in the studio concert series of the renowned Bauer Studios Ludwigsburg in 2018. Sold out concerts, trips through Germany, Italy, France, Switzerland and Austria as well as intensive collaboration with international guest musicians have allowed the Viennese Quartet to mature and grow together.

On the go and at home the sound surfers enjoy experimenting and playing between styles, Miniatures in a duo or trio stand alongside large works in full line-up, rhythmic playfulness along with clarity of structure.

Delta, the 4, stands for the reconciling connection between flowing water and the open sea, for the "unusual quartet" (Albert Hosp, ORF, Radio Ö1) and for the fourth album with the ensemble's own compositions.

"Between simplicity and opulence - Donauwellenreiter mix imaginary folklore with elements of pop music" - Die Presse, AUT

"A catchy tune and medicine for the soul" - Jazzquadrat, RUS

"Chamber music, minimalist, but also powerfully pop structures that can still be filled acoustically" - Jazzthetik, GER
