About

To mark 10 years of playing together, the Modigliani Quartet offers their version of these essential works in the life of a Quartet.

At the dawn of the 20th century, Paris played a part, more than any other city, in the metamorphosis of arts of modern times. The vibrations of light and colour on canvasses by Monet, Seurat and their contemporaries were changed into sounds in the making of Debussy's Quartet which opened the way to a new aesthetic. Ten years later, Ravel crystallised style, continuing Debussy's journey.


Between these two jewels of the French repertoire, the first quartet of Saint-Saens reveals a work wonderfully endearing, full of charm, humour and elegance.
