Emperor Quartet - Emperor Quartet

Between 2010 and 2014, the British Emperor Quartet released the three discs gathered here, with all of Benjamin Britten�s published music for string quartet � as well as his one work for string quintet, the Phantasy in F minor. Their performances of the three numbered quartets, undisputed masterpieces of 20th-century chamber music, were variously described by the critics as �stupendous� (Classic FM Magazine), �a wonderful homage� (Ensemble), and �a complete cosmos of colours and nuances� (Fono Forum), and the discs received top marks and distinctions in magazines such as Fanfare, Diapason and International Record Review.
