"It is a real treat to hear with what panache, what witty playfulness, what youthful energy the [Modigliani Quartet] plays, yet never yielding to casualness. The balance of the four voices, the delicacy of sounds is always impressive, with constant attention to dynamics, harmony and rhythmic precision. It sounds effortless, sovereign and extremely supple" (Suddeutsch Zeitung). This vibrant and popular ensemble always delivers rewarding interpretations of compelling repertoire.
Founded in 2003, the Modigliani Quartet is recognized as one of today's most sought- after quartets, featuring regularly in prominent international series and on the world's most prestigious stages. In addition to annual tours in the United States and in Asia, the quartet's numerous European tours have brought them to Wigmore Hall, the Paris Philharmonie, the Theatre des Champs-Elysees, the Berlin Philharmonie, the Vienna Konzerthaus, the Saint-Petersburg Philharmonia and the Elbphil-harmonie in Hamburg.
