About
The Calidore Quartet return to Signum Classics for the first instalment 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 represents the sentiments, aesthetics and research of their generation. Their interpretations of Beethoven are already critically acclaimed, with future performances planned at prestigious venues to be announced.
“[Their Beethoven performance’s] were shockingly deep. I’ve never heard a quartet so young get so inside this ultimately inscrutable music” - LA Times

Awards and reviews
March 2023
The New York-based Calidore Quartet gives meticulously detailed performances of Beethoven’s late string quartets, with playing of quite remarkable technical accomplishment..the players have clearly thought long and hard about these masterpieces of the string quartet repertoire, and they have produced performances that can stand comparison with the best.
May 2023
Cantabile is the word that recurred throughout my listening notes, and for late Beethoven to sing may be counted recommendation enough.
