THE MARMEN QUARTET

‘Courage, vitality and intensity’ are the hallmarks of the Marmen’s performance. Recent first prizes at the Bordeaux and Banff international competitions confirm the Quartet’s outstanding reputation. Here, they explore the intriguing sound worlds of Takemitsu and Debussy and then the second of Beethoven’s ‘Russian-flavoured’ quartets, named after the Russian count who commissioned them.
