“Interpreters of rare understanding and
communicative flair” - The
Strad
“The players of the Quatuor Ebène
give the lie to any claims that characteristic French individualism
is at odds with the existence of great quartets. Cohesion, balance,
commitment ... are words that recur in descriptions of the talent
of these young artists, who are open to such a diverse
repertoire.” - Zurban
“The Quatuor Ebène Quartet is an ensemble
in the proper sense of the term, uniting in an exemplary way all
the qualities and requirements of a string quartet
...” - Süddeutsche Zeitung
