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 Z. 752, Chacony Z. 730 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!

Spotlight on this release

Awards and reviews

August 2024

The quartet sound itself combines a lovely rich sonority with a tremendous span of weight, timbre and attack...Beautiful stuff, while also being something you can get your intellectual teeth into.

4th July 2024

The approach especially suits Purcell, whose G minor Pavan and Gavotte soar through pungent dissonances with a fiery glow made even hotter by the clear and characterful recording conjured up by Philip Hobbs from the medieval church at the heart of York’s National Centre for Early Music.
