They now focus entirely on the quartet repertoire, and have recently been selected as BBC New Generation Artists. Gramophone Magazine rates them as one of the top five young quartets, and recent reviews are glowing. | ||

| Church of St John the Baptist, Little Missenden, Amersham, Amersham, United Kingdom Sunday 10-Oct-10 08:00pm Quartetto Prometeo When he was 20 Schubert wrote Death and the Maiden, a chilling song in which a young girl meets Death and pleads unsuccessfully for her life. During his final illness Schubert returned to the theme as a basis for his great D minor quartet (also known as Death and the Maiden), a passionate and moving piece, full of minor-key darkness. It has far eclipsed the original song, becoming a cornerstone of the quartet repertoire – and one of the most popular pieces in all chamber music. After studying the quartets of Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven, the newly-married Schumann wrote his three expressive and poetic quartets in 1842, in a sudden burst of chamber music creativity. They should be heard more often. Keith Anderson described them in a Naxos sleevenote as “masterpieces in their own right”, full of “musical inventiveness, youthful exuberance and intense poetic feeling”. This F major quartet is an attractive and dreamily romantic work. The Italian Salvatore Sciarrino is one of Europe's most influential and celebrated living composers. His music is intensely individual – it can sound strange at first, but his curiously vivid and accessible sound-world draws the listener deeply in. It inhabits the borderland between sleep and waking – dreamlike, delicate fragments of sound that crawl out of silences, whispers and hints, sighs, flickering sonic phantoms that are there and not there – like listening for a baby’s sleeping breath: it’s hardly there yet filled with wonder and anxiety. Describing the impression of his intensely quieting music, Sciarrino has written: "To those who are used to modern life, my music may seem like an ant on the back of an elephant. I would rather see it as an erupting volcano seen from a distance.” The Italian Quartetto Prometeo has built a brilliant international career, embracing an Aldeburgh residency, many major prizes (including the 1998 Prague Spring Competition), and performances at venues like the Concertgebouw, Musikverein, Wigmore Hall, Wexford Festival, Prague Spring Festival, Accademia di Santa Cecilia in Rome and Musée d'Orsay in Paris. The quartet is extremely versatile. Their repertoire includes classic quartet works, but they also have a matchless reputation in the contemporary music field, including numerous world premieres. Leading-edge composers like Sciarrino and Scelsi have written works for them. Reviewers comment on the burning intensity of their sound, rigorous understanding of the music, and pin-sharp accuracy. “Behind its typical glowing Italian sound, with tuning dead centred on the note, lies a vein of intellectual toughness” (T Potter, The Strad) “Here was playing of passionate intensity and lyrical beauty” (Frank Cliff, East Anglian Daily Times) | ||

| Birmingham Town Hall, Birmingham B3 3DQ, United Kingdom Thursday 11-Nov-10 07:30pm Takács Quartet Generally regarded as Europe’s pre-eminent string quartet, the Takács return to Town Hall with quartets by Haydn and Shostakovich alongside Schubert’s gravely beautiful Death and the Maiden Quartet. ‘This is chamber-music playing of overwhelming intensity, insight and intelligence, simply the best I have ever heard in concert’, wrote the critic of The Guardian recently. BBC Music magazine’s Editor Oliver Condy explains why he has recommended tonight’s concert: “The Takács Quartet were the first ever winners of the BBC Music magazine’s Disc of the Year award back in 2006. I’ve since seen them live several times and have never yet failed to be entranced by their ability to breathe new life to into well-worn masterpieces.” | ||

| Conservatoire Royal de Bruxelles, Brussels, Rue de la Régence 30, 1000 Brussels, Belgium Saturday 15-Jan-11 08:00pm Edding Quartet Founded in 2007, the Edding Quartet can draw on the wide-ranging experience of its members: the cellist Ageet Zweistra, who has for many years been associated with Philippe Herreweghe's ensembles, the violist Paul De Clercq, a specialist in the contemporary repertoire, and two young violinists, Baptiste Lopez and Mélanie Evrard, trained in period-instrument performance. Together, they make up one of the finest string quartets to have emerged on the international scene in recent times. They have a particular fondness for the Classical repertoire - as in this programme, which brings together Haydn, Mozart, and Schubert and includes two of the genre's greatest hits: Mozart's Clarinet Quintet and Schubert's "Death and the Maiden" Quartet. A must! | ||

Dynamism, professionalism, and passion are what they are known for. They have already played the Konzerthaus in Vienna, Wigmore Hall in London, and the Philharmonie in Berlin. In the summer of 2010 they are launching their own festival in Goslar in Germany. Could you ask for better credentials? | ||
