About
With a complete recording of the Beethoven quartets that caused a stir and enchanted concert halls everywhere, the Belcea Quartet is henceforth considered one of the finest quartets in the world. ‘The principle characteristic of their playing is [...] intensity,’ wrote BBC Music Magazine in 2013.
With this new recording, the Quartet tackles another summit of chamber music: the Second Viennese School.
With their passion and technical abilities, this breathtaking music, which drastically changed the history of music, rings out in all its force and mystery.

Awards and reviews
January 2016
There is no question that the Belcea Quartet...are completely on top of the formidable technical demands of these scores...the knife-edge contrasts of the Webern miniatures and the generously flowing paragraphs of the Schoenberg are equally well projected, while even in the most frenzied extremes of the Berg, these players never relinquish beauty of sound.
October 2015
the Belceas' muted, breathless approach is no less effective than the extrovert technical accomplishment and timbral extremes of the LaSalle Quartet…their Verklärte Nacht bucks the trend of recent slow and solemn performances…and is fitted closely to Dehmel's lascivious storyline.
2nd November 2015
The Belcea Quartet, plus Nicolas Bone (violin) and Antonio Meneses (cello), play passionately and precisely.
