Today one of the most highly respected string quartets, the Belcea were established in 1994 at the Royal College of Music in London and studied with the Chilingirian, the Amadeus, and later the Alban Berg quartets. They recorded for EMI Classics across nearly a decade, between 2000 and 2009, bringing about tremendous versions of quartets by Schubert, Britten, Bartok, and Mozart, to name a few. │ “The Belcea Quartet throw every fibre of their beings into the most vivid projection of the masterpieces they undertake.” – The Independent │ “These recordings form a crucial part of our life as a quartet and we hope that over the ensuing years they haven’t lost their freshness and sense of adventure.” – Krzysztof Chorzelski, violist of the Belcea Quartet
