Brentano String Quartet

‘Passionate, uninhibited and spell-binding,’ declared the Independent in response to one of the Brentano String Quartet’s performances. The ensemble, formed in 1992 at the Juilliard School of Music, directs its famously warm sound and esprit de corps to the cause of the second of Haydn’s Op. 54 quartets, written to display the talents of the Hungarian violinist Johann Tost, and Dvořák’s irresistible String Quartet in G Op. 106.
