DEBUT ALBUM - ‘MANIFESTO ON LOVE’

OUT NOW!

 
 
 

‘MANIFESTO ON LOVE’ - GENUIN CLASSICS

As 1st prize winner of the 2022 ARD Music Competition, the Barbican Quartet is one of the most sought-after young string quartet formations. The internationally composed ensemble is now releasing its debut album on GENUIN: "Manifesto on Love", with works by Leos Janácek and Robert Schumann. The contrast between Schumann's expansive musical lines and Janácek’s nervous surfaces and ecstatic outbursts could not be greater – yet the Barbican Quartet unites them as expressions of human need for love, for togetherness. Two works of the most intimate musical genre played at a phenomenal level!

“Finely structured and virtuosically balanced […] the Barbicans brought to Beethoven’s op. 59. 2 the intensity and instinctiveness that the slow movement needs, while giving the other movements joy, frenzy and punch. Justifiably thunderous applause.”
— Harald Eggebrecht, Süddeutsche Zeitung (on the finale of the ARD International String Quartet Competition)
