Musica Viva presents the Modigliani QuartetÂ
Since their first Australian tour (with clarinettist Sabine Meyer), the Modigliani Quartet have gone from strength to strength, and now look well-placed to assume the mantle of the top French quartet of their generation. Elegant and masculine, the crisp articulation and rich timbres of this acclaimed ensemble are a perfect match for masterpieces which demand both strength and clarity.
