"From the quick vibrato of the opening of the First Quartet to the viola’s pure tone that leads to the second subject just 10 bars later, the Artemis give us a Brahms of and for our time, inevitably informed by their work on Bartók and Ligeti just as much as on late Beethoven."
- Gramophone
The Artemis Quartet pairs Brahms’ intense first quartet with his lighter-spririted third quartet, both works that the Artemis’ cellist, Eckart Runge, describes as “remarkable and multi-faceted."
“Brahms marries a Romantic spirit with the structure and forms of Classicism. There is an almost symphonic approach in the writing, but at the same time the quartets are imbued with a sense of warmth, immediacy, friendship and love that is interwoven with a more spiritual, timeless beauty."
- Eckart Runge (Cellist)
