The Modigliani Quartet back in Sydney
Since their first Australian tour (with clarinettist Sabine Meyer), the Modigliani Quartet have gone from strength to strength, and now look well-placed to assume the mantle of the top French quartet of their generation. Elegant and masculine, the crisp articulation and rich timbres of this acclaimed ensemble are a perfect match for masterpieces which demand both strength and clarity.
Haydn’s quartets bring a natural lightness with their clear, Classical straightforwardness, paving the way for more powerful explorations from Beethoven and Schubert. Shostakovich’s 1st String Quartet is a perfect fit for the group; written with a nod to classicism and the brightness of spring in mind. Dvorak’s famed ‘American’ quartet was completed upon the composer’s return to Bohemia from an extended stay in the New World. Full of warmth and timeless melodies, this mighty work reflects a composer inspired anew at the end of a prolific career.
