The Barbican Quartet is a highly acclaimed and exciting young string quartet based in London. 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 album “Lux Intus” combines works from W.A. Mozart, Rebecca Clarke and Edward Elgar with a world premiere recording and commissioned work for string quartet by Sophia Jani.
“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.”
