PARIS (Philharmonie) - JANUARY 2020

"S'il y a bien un terme qui s’accorde parfaitement à cet ensemble, c’est bien celui de finesse, presque qu’autant que celui d’élégance, tout aussi marquant."

“If there is one term that fits the ensemble perfectly, it is that of finesse, or elegance, which was just as striking. The Fine Arts began with Beethoven’s Second Quartet...delivering a constantly balanced score. The ensembles two violins have been playing together for thirty-six years now, which resulted in a perfectly homogeneous interpretation. Added to this is the splendid viola by Gil Sharon, slightly warmer, magnificent when he then performed his solitary song, the second Moderato from Shostakovich’s Quartet No.1. Niklas Schmidt’s cello stood out in the pizzicato of the final Allegro, which was particularly well defined…” Vincent Guillemin, Altamusica, 13/01/2020 http://www.altamusica.com/concerts/document.php?action=MoreDocument&DocRef=6719&DossierRef=6164
