Nominated for a BBC Music 2024 Chamber Award, the Calidore String Quartet is recognized as one of the world’s foremost interpreters of a vast chamber music repertoire. Beethoven’s bright early quartet opens this program, and the Montero premiere is followed by Dvořák’s Piano Quintet, one of the greatest works of the genre, capturing his Czech heritage in a rich tapestry of melodies and dances.
“The essence of Calidore is just how centered it is. It does not give the impression of risk-taking but risk-absorbing.”
– The Los Angeles Times
“Montero’s playing has everything: crackling rhythmic brio, subtle shadings, steely power in climactic moments, soulful lyricism in the ruminative passages, and, best of all, unsentimental expressivity.”
– The New York Times
