Quatuor EbeneAbout
Formed in France in 1999, the Quatuor Ebčne took its name from ebony, the precious and exotic wood used in instrument-making. The award-winning ensemble has since achieved an enviable international reputation for refined, dynamic musicianship, minutely responsive teamwork, an adventurous spirit and even a taste for improvisation. The Quartet’s repertoire ranges from Haydn and Mozart, cornerstones of the Classical repertoire, through the 19th and 20th centuries to contemporary composers and jazz.
This Quatuor Ebčne’s debut recording on Virgin Classics brings together the string quartets of the three emblematic French composers of the late 19th and early 20tb centuries: Fauré, Debussy and Ravel. The Debussy and Ravel quartets represent a traditional pairing in the catalogue, but they have rarely been coupled with the Fauré, his final work, composed in his late seventies. As it happens, Ravel dedicated his own quartet to Fauré, who was his teacher.
“Interpreters of rare understanding and communicative flair” - The Strad
“The players of the Quatuor Ebčne give the lie to any claims that characteristic French individualism is at odds with the existence of great quartets. Cohesion, balance, commitment ... are words that recur in descriptions of the talent of these young artists, who are open to such a diverse repertoire.” - Zurban
“The Quatuor Ebčne Quartet is an ensemble in the proper sense of the term, uniting in an exemplary way all the qualities and requirements of a string quartet ...” - Süddeutsche Zeitung
