Calidore String QuartetAbout
Their previous Beethoven recordings were described as “highly collectible” by BBC Music Magazine. The first album of Late Quartets won the Chamber Music Award at the BBC Music Magazine Awards 2024, and the second was awarded Recording of the Month by Gramophone Magazine.
“Our interpretation speaks to the influences of our teachers and the great traditions associated with this repertoire, but also to that of our own generation, contemporary research, style and experience. Though this music speaks in a language that is hundreds of years old, its message remains immediate, relevant and comforting to listeners of today and of generations to come even, and especially, in the most challenging of times.” – Calidore Quartet
Reviews
At the start of Op 18 No 6, which resembles a light, quick-tempo Mozart opera duet, I love the Calidore’s animated approach, their keen interchanges. Elsewhere, their clarity, attack, precision and pooled intelligence invariably impress, as does Judith Sherman’s scrupulously balanced sound production. ... Very enthusiastically recommended.
