As 1st prize winner of the 2022 ARD Music Competition, the Barbican Quartet is one of the most sought-after young string quartet formations. The internationally composed ensemble is now releasing its debut album on GENUIN: “Manifesto on Love”, with works by Leoš Janácek and Robert Schumann. The contrast between Schumann’s expansive musical lines and Janácek’s nervous surfaces and ecstatic outbursts could not be greater – yet the Barbican Quartet unites them as expressions of human need for love, for togetherness. Two works of the most intimate musical genre played at a phenomenal level!
