Belcea Quartet

This program of essential string quartets opens with Beethoven’s String Quartet in C Minor, a key commonly associated with the maestro’s most vigorous works. The Belcea Quartet is renowned for its Beethoven performances, for “single-mindedly fathoming the emotional recesses of the composer’s psyche” (Gramophone). More of the ensemble’s core repertoire follows as they showcase what makes their Bartók interpretations “thrilling … bound for classic status” (London’s The Times). The program closes with Debussy’s sole string quartet, a forward-thinking journey of constant surprise and beauty, unencumbered by the expectations of its time.
