About

Winner of the 2022 York Early Music International Young Artists Competition, Protean Quartet makes its Linn debut with an eclectic programme that transcends musical eras. Taking polyphony as a starting point, the versatile young quartet ventures into various epochs, ranging from Purcell’s Pavan Z752, Chacony Z730 and Dance from the opera Dioclesian, to Schubert’s String Quartets nos. 4 and 13 (‘Rosamunde’) by way of Josquin’s famed ‘Mille regretz’. Although different in style, these works show an equal care in the treatment of every individual voice, each one meticulously played by Protean Quartet's outstanding musicians. A multifaceted album which will delight existing polyphony enthusiasts and create many more!

Reviews

... this ‘Tempus omnia vincit’ conversation between Purcell, Josquin and Schubert proclaims loud and clear that we’re in the company not just of a supremely accomplished ensemble from a technical perspective but also of philosophers, historians and storytellers. ... Beautiful stuff, while also being something you can get your intellectual teeth into.  Charlotte Gardner
Gramophone August 2024
The Protean Quartet, schooled in Berlin and Basel in what’s called “historically aware” performances, announce that one of their specialties is promoting Spain’s musical heritage. That would appear to leave out Schubert and Purcell, the main composers in Tempus omnia vincit, although their music is played with such volatility that the pair seem to have become temporary Spanish citizens. The approach especially suits Purcell... Josquin des Prez’s version of the French chanson Mille regretz is another beneficiary.  Geoff Brown
