Quartet No. 22 in B-flat, K589 (Prussian) Quartet No. 2 in C Op. 36

The Barbirolli Quartet is known for its diverse, prolific repertoire and dynamic approach to performance, with The Times describing them as “forthright, full-blooded musicians, afraid of nothing” and The Strad commenting on their “superbly realised performance” with “precision of ensemble at formidable rates of energy”. In 2008, The Barbirolli Quartet’s achievements included winning a Tunnell Trust Award, being chosen for the Countess of Munster Musical Trust Recital Scheme and, most prestigiously, their selection by the European Concert Halls Organisation (ECHO) for inclusion in the 'Rising Stars' series. They also made their Purcell Room debut as Park Lane Group Young Artists, to critical acclaim. Over the summer The Barbirolli Quartet return to Cheltenham, this time collaborating with the Australian String Quartet, and give a series of recitals at Lichfield, Buxton and Ryedale festivals. In November 2009 they join the panel of adjudicators for the Pettman/ROSL Arts International Scholarship in New Zealand, followed by a recital tour of the region. The Barbirolli Quartet is also 'Quartet in Residence' at Salford University. The quartet has worked with Walter Levin and Louis Fima as part of the ProQuartet-CEMC professional training program and in 2008 was awarded Artists Fellowships at London’s Guildhall School of Music, studying primarily with The Belcea Quartet.
