Genre: Chamber music

Quatuor Modigliani

The Paris-based quartet in music by Ravel and Tchaikovsky.

The Quatuor Modigliani is acclaimed worldwide, delivering acclaimed concerts in the foremost concert halls. The quartet made its debut at Konserthuset in 2012 and has returned a couple of times since then, most recently in 2020.

French Élise Bertrand (also active as a violinist) composed "Lui e loro" specifically for the Modigliani Quartet. She was inspired by a photograph from World War II depicting the bombings and destruction of the Monte Cassino monastery in Italy. Everything lay in ruins, but a white statue of Jesus remained, "as a symbol of resistance and hope."

More French music. Maurice Ravel was 28 when he wrote his only string quartet in 1903. It is considered by many to be his first masterpiece. Here, there is much individuality, outstanding richness of colour, and rhythmic liveliness.

Tchaikovsky's third and final string quartet is often considered one of his finest chamber music works. It has a Czech connection: his friend and colleague at the Moscow Conservatory, the Czech violinist Ferdinand Laub, had passed away, and Tchaikovsky composed the music in his memory.
