Biography
“Those four musicians embody what we have always stood for – to go beyond limits.
The Morphing quartet reclaim a demanding classical repertoire with intelligence and finesse. This allows them to think outside the box and bring a necessary breath of fresh air in today’s musical world. They do so with talent and vitality as proven by their interpretation of Ravel’s quartet on which we were lucky enough to work together. This was a true revelation and they can without a doubt serve as a role model for younger generations.
Forming a quartet with artistry and a true identity needs constant working on togetherness, a balance of tones, dynamism and articulation. All of those they achieve with excellence.”
Quatuor Ebène
