DEBUT ALBUM - 'Manifesto on Love' - OUT NOW!

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 Janacek and Robert Schumann.  The contrast between Schumann's expansive musical lines and Janacek's nervous surfaces and ecstatic outbursts could not be greater – yet the Barbican Quartet unites them as expressions of the most human need for love, for togetherness. Two works of the most intimate musical genre played at a phenomenal level!
