\u201cWhat seems to be the predominant impulse driving this music is man\u2019s yearning for freedom, the unquenchable desire to expand his limits and to learn the truth about himself in this process.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n The ensemble\u2019s repertoire spans Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven to Bartok, Janacek to Szymanowski. They also continue to introduce new works by current composers to the audience such as Guillaume Connesson (2023), Joseph Phibbs (2018), Krzysztof Penderecki (2016), Thomas Larcher (2015) and Mark-Anthony Turnage (2014 & 2010). A new work by Julian Anderson will be premiered this season. These commissioned works are created in association with the Belcea Quarte Trust, the \u00a0quartet\u2019s own foundation, whose aim is to continually broaden the string quartet literature as well as to support young quartets through concentrated joint coaching sessions. In this way they can also pass on to the next generation the experience they gained as students of the Amadeus & Alban Berg Quartet.<\/p>\n In addition to the complete recordings of the String Quartets by Bart\u00f3k, Beethoven, Brahms (Diapason d\u2019or de l\u2019ann\u00e9e 2016) and Britten, the quartet\u2019s wide-ranging discography includes works by Berg, Dutilleux, Mozart, Schoenberg, Schubert, Shostakovich, Jan\u00e1\u010dek & Ligeti (among others). In spring 2022, Alpha Classics released the two String Sextets by Brahms performed with Tabea Zimmermann and Jean-Guihen Queyras. From 2017 to 2020, the quartet held the prestigious position of Ensemble in Residence at the Pierre Boulez Hall in Berlin. Since then, they have performed there regularly. In addition, the Belcea Quartet has been part of a shared String Quartet series at the Vienna Konzerthaus since 2010. Beginning last season, Quatuor \u00c9b\u00e8ne became their partner ensemble here.<\/p>\n This season, the Belcea Quartet will be making guest appearances at the three prominent European String Quartet biennials in Paris, Lisbon, and Amsterdam. In addition, they will be performing at various esteemed venues including Carnegie Hall New York City, Elbphilharmonie Hamburg, Flagey Brussels, National Concert Hall Dublin, Tonhalle Zurich, and Toppan Hall Tokyo.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n
\nTheir performances of all Beethoven String Quartets at the Konzerthaus Vienna in 2012 were released on DVD by EuroArts in 2014, followed by the release of a recording of Britten\u2019s three String Quartets in 2015.<\/p>\n
