“This is string quartet playing of the highest caliber.”
Schubert from Wigmore Hall
OPUS13
“Opus13 blends musical intensity, flawless technique and boundless energy to perfection...This is string quartet playing of the highest caliber.”
“We were delighted to award First Prize to Opus13, whose performance in the Final was both technically superb and emotionally compelling.”
“This is what Opus13 gave us: technical brilliance, yes, but with an infectious intensity and virtuosic ability of interpretation. .. Crystal clear, yet never glossing over dissonance, with the finest agogic attack down to heartbreaking melodiousness. What we also encountered this evening: not merely a conspired homogeneity but a beauty of sound. Last year they won the Bordeaux competition, one of the most significant string quartet competitions, and after what we witnessed during this concert, we know why.”
“...Opus13..offered Edvard Grieg’ Quartet in such a luminous and sensitive, smooth yet thrillingly virtuosic way...”
“...this was a performance of a profundity and kaleidoscopic colour that would have been astounding from any ensemble, let alone a young one still making itself known.”
“… a wonderful depth of field, dramatic intent and a palette of surreal colors.”
