Since its founding two decades ago, the Leipzig String Quartet has garnered
the attention of international critics and audiences with its distinctive
dark timbre and meticulously sculpted interpretations of a widely varied
repertoire. Formed originally by the string principals of the renowned
Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra, the Quartet continues to uphold the principles
of sound and integrity ascribed to this great orchestra. Called “one of the
towering and most versatile quartets of our time” by the Neue Zuercher
Zeitung and lauded by The New York Times for presenting “rich, mellow,
unadulterated beauty” and a true “Leipzig sound,” the Quartet is beyond
doubt one of the world’s great chamber ensembles.
