About the Quartet

The Paris-based Modigliani Quartet “is beautifully modulated” (The Guardian) and “plays with a Gallic cool” (The New York Times). “In the hands of the players, Schubert’s musical magic embraced an audience which listened in absorbed silence” (The West Australian). 

“It is a real treat to hear with what panache, what witty playfulness, what youthful energy the 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” (Süddeutche Zeitung).
