Ciompi Quartet

Their music, full of passion, yet with pure and beautiful tone color, intoxicated the listener.

From beginning to end the playing sounded intelligent and sure, softened at the edges with a full and mellow tone.

Once the players entered the score’s sonic world, no distractions could interrupt the probing artistry. Here was music-making of remarkable poise and control.

The whole evening was a work of art, of technical brilliance, of careful, sensitive ensemble playing.
