Artemis Quartet
Berlin-based Artemis Quartet is acclaimed for the technical brilliance and intensity of its high-energy performances.
Mozart String Quartet in G K387
Bartók String Quartet No 3
Schubert String Quartet in D minor D810 ‘Death and the Maiden’
The players of the Berlin-based Artemis Quartet have been acclaimed for the technical brilliance and intensity of its high-energy performances – qualities needed in abundance for this virtuosic and diverse recital.
Schubert's masterful 'Death and the Maiden' Quartet forms the thrilling conclusion to the Artemis's programme. It is a deeply emotional work that matches melancholy with glowing lyricism. Before the interval, it performs Mozart's sparkling G major Quartet K387, the first of a set written in tribute to Haydn, and Bartók's brief but punchy Third Quartet.
