Taurus QuartetAbout
To celebrate their fifth anniversary, Taurus Quartet released its first two CDs in 2018 under the title Horizon funčbre, featuring both string quartets by Janáček and the last two string quartets by Schubert. The recordings have received rave reviews from the international press. In the 'Beethoven Year' 2020, the quartet gave several performances of the complete string quartets of Beethoven and also paid tribute to the 150th birthday of the Belgian composer Ryelandt. The programme SLOW was created in 2022 at the request of The Concertgebouw Brugge and is a characteristic example of the quartet's original and creative way of programming. This recording has been conceived as a true musical journey rather than a random assembly of separate tracks.
A SLOW Suite that caresses the soul, cuts deep into the mind and reveals precarious truths with agonising slowness. We also recorded the various movements in the same sequence as they appear here. By playing these slow movements in their new context, an inspiring artistic cross-pollination seemed to occur during our journey: the timelessly beautiful pieces of music influenced each other and their composers engaged each other in conversation across the centuries and with great mutual respect.
