BELCEA QUARTET
Schubert: String Quartet in A minor, D804, “Rosamunde”
Beethoven: String Quartet in C sharp minor, op. 131
“The Belcea’s style remains fundamentally youthful, yet they also offer spacious, expressionistic playing of enormous power and warmth where necessary”
(The Sunday Times)
The British Belcea Quartet opens the 2008 Festival in a house of music which has great historic impact, the 21st century purpose-built CIT Cork School of Music. The Belcea Quartet has gained an enviable reputation as one of the leading quartets of the new generation. They continue to take the British and international chamber music circuit by storm, consistently receiving critical acclaim.
The Belcea’s were Quartet-in-Residence at theWigmore Hall from 2001 to 2006, during which they began an exclusive recording contract with EMI Classics. Since its Gramophone award-winning début CD, the Quartet has gone on to record works by Schubert, Brahms, Fauré, Britten, Mozart, Thomas Adès and most recently, the much-acclaimed complete Bartók string quartets.
