"[Their Beethoven performance's] were shockingly deep. I've never heard a quartet so young get so inside this ultimately inscrutable music" - LA Times

The Calidore Quartet return to Signum Classics for the first installment of their Beethoven Cycle: The Late Quartets. Their interpretation is informed by their diverse set of mentors which include Alban Berg, Emerson, Guarneri and yet still uniquely representing the senti- ments, aesthetics and research of their generation. Their interpretations of Beethoven are already critically acclaimed with future performances planned at prestigious venues to be announced.
