About

'Be comforted! I am not cruel; sleep in peace in my arms', murmurs Death to the Maiden in a song written in 1817, seven years before the quartet to which it gave its name and which has since become one of the pillars of the repertoire.

Here is a new challenge for the members of the Jerusalem Quartet, whose most recent incursion into Romantic territory, with Dvorák's 'American' Quartet, received exceptional praise from Le Monde de la Musique for 'its virtuosity, its vitality, its energetic, buoyant phrasing'.

The Jerusalem Quartet, founded in 1993, has received support from the BBC, as BBC New Generation Artists, and as winners of the first Borletti-Buitoni Trust Award in 2003. It is now a regular guest on European and American concert platforms.

With harmonia mundi, the quartet has recorded works by Dvorák, with Stefan Vladar, Shostakovich and Haydn, and has been awarded several international distinctions, including the Chamber prize in the 2008 BBC Music Magazine Awards.

The Quartet is very grateful to Daniel Barenboim who generously loans Jacqueline du Pré's 'Sergio Perresson' cello to Kyril Zlotnikov.
