Albion QuartetAbout
The concept: to juxtapose two masterpieces written in the same year in the immediate aftermath of war (1946) by composers inhabiting two entirely different social and political worlds in the Soviet Union and Britain respectively.
Formed in 2016, the Albion Quartet brings together four of the UK’s exceptional young string players who are establishing themselves rapidly on the international stage.
Recent engagements from the 2017-18 season included performances at the Louvre in Paris, Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, Robert Schumann Gesellschaft in Frankfurt, Båstad Festival in Sweden, Festival of Music in Franconia and Rhine Valley Music Festival in Germany, as well as the Hay Festival in the UK.
The members of the quartet play on a fine collection of instruments, including a Stradivarius and Guarnerius.
Reviews
What can I say? This is just a fantastic recording. It sounds great, the playing is erudite and courageous, and it’s quite simply the best thing I’ve heard all year. The Walton really stands out for me. The Albion capture the turbulence, the wistful lyricism enmeshed with searing tension that is evoked in Walton’s writing. Amy Blier-Carruthers
