| 15-Apr-2012 Konzerthaus: Mozart Saal | Romantic sextets from the Quatuor Ebène |
 Regarded as one of the best young string quartets around today, the Quatuor Ebène have made a name for themselves with their homogeneity of sound, in equal parts vibrant and mellifluous, and the powerful immediacy of their playing. Hearing them for the third time in this concert, I was no less taken with this or their considerable musicianship, but had my reservations about the prominence of a certain Gallic sensibility in Schoenberg’s Verklärte Nacht.

| 18-Mar-2012 Carnegie Hall, Zankel Hall | Quatuor Ebène at Carnegie Hall: From Beethoven to Disney |
 It would be difficult indeed to imagine an evening of string quartet playing at once more diverse and more brilliant than this. Already one of the world’s finer quartets after only a few years in the public eye, the Quatuor Ebène are notable for their catholic tastes. Music, after all, is music, and there is no need to divide genres as we have done for so long, nor sneer at those who try to bring them together.Read full review... | |
