Among the very good quartets playing inter¬nationally, the “Artemis ensemble is the best.” The reason: “Ranging from Beethoven to Ligeti, their performances overflow with fullness of sound, delineated structure and unparalleled drama” (national German newspaper Frank¬furter Allgemeine Zeitung). The Artemis Quartet garners equally high praise wherever they go. With their ability to tell a compelling narrative with musical gestures that are natural and un¬forced, this Berlin-based quartet will play late Beethoven’s Opus 127, as well as the fiery Opus 59, No. 3 “Razumovsky” quartet. | The Folly Theater
