The Quatuor Ebène is one of the best ensembles in its field. Its interpretations have a freshness and a tension that is electrifying.
According to the four musicians, the inspiration from the audience plays a large part in this. Whether they are making music for children in a slum in Nairobi, at the Salzburg Festival or in the 1000-year-old church of San Gian in Celerina:
Hair-trigger precision and stylistic confidence, coupled with invigorating spontaneity, are the outstanding qualities that make every concert by this quartet an experience.
