Ravel, Debussy, Fauré: String Quartets
Douban
résumé
One of today's most sought-after quartets worldwide, the French Ébène Quartet (Pierre Colombet and Gabriel Le Magadure on violins, Mathieu Herzog on viola, and Raphaël Merlin on cello), formed in 1999, is regularly praised for its mastery, elegance, density, complicity, andspirit. The quartet has also been lauded for its remarkable open-mindedness and versatility, displaying equal facility in the classical repertoire and contemporary music, while also regularly performing jazz and other popular music.
For <em>Quatuor Ebene,</em> their debut disc on Virgin Classics, they have recorded the three great French quartets by Ravel, Debussy, and Fauré. It is the first time all three of these quartets appear on one single album, with over 80 minutes of music!</p>
