About

Formed in 2016, the Albion Quartet unites four outstanding young string players, brought together by a shared belief in the visceral power of the string quartet.

Here the quartet continue their Dvořák series on Signum with spectacular renditions of his Eighth and Tenth Quartets.

Reviews

The playing, by the excellent Albion, is masterly in its vividness, freedom and sensitivity.  David Cairns
The Sunday Times
... anyone who thinks that the new generation of super-quartets are merely about brilliance should hear the myriad shades of russet and gold that the Albion Quartet find in these two enchanting works. This, surely, is how Dvořák’s chamber music is supposed to sound: luminous, playful (there’s a real kick to his dotted dance-rhythms), and simultaneously generous and touchingly intimate.  Richard Bratby
Gramophone March 2020
When a critic concludes a review in March with, 'I can already see this being my pick of the year', you really do have to listen for yourselves. Detail and collegiality throughout make for a superb album.  Martin Cullingford
