Exciting programme, great virtuosity: the Belcea Quartet between classical and contemporary music

The Belcea Quartet describes the structure of a string quartet as »an almost perfect model of democracy«. Absolute passion is possible, compromises are necessary, but these do not water down the music; rather, they lead to an optimal result.

If you are looking for one of the world’s leading quartets that fills every bar with expressiveness, you will automatically end up with the British Belcea Quartet. It is famous for its extraordinary art of differentiation. This applies to works of the Viennese Classical period as well as to the many new compositions that the Belcea Quartet regularly includes in its programmes, whether by Julian Anderson, Mark-Anthony Turnage or, as in this concert, by Brett Dean.
