Artists
Calidore QuartetAbout
Their Beethoven performances have been described as “shockingly deep” by LA Times. The first album of Late Quartets won the Chamber Music Award at the BBC Music Magazine Awards 2024.
Their interpretation is informed by their diverse set of mentors, which includes Alban Berg, Emerson and Guarneri and yet still uniquely represents the sentiments, aesthetics and research of their generation.
Their interpretations of Beethoven are already critically acclaimed with performances at the Lincoln Center planned as part of their residency.

Europadisc Review
Reviews
Any new recording of Beethoven’s quartets will provoke argument. Preconceptions inevitably play their part. What cannot be denied is the sophistication and sheer polish – in tuning, rhythm and ensemble – of the Calidore’s Beethoven. ... The throwaway, laugh-it all-off coda [of op.95] gets feathery lightness and pinpoint precision: a miniature tour de force that sets the seal on Beethoven-playing of rare vividness and technical aplomb.
