One of the most brilliant works in the quartet literature, an exciting new composition based on it, and a virtuoso award-winning ensemble: the Aris Quartet's GENUIN CD Attacca bursts with energy from the very first moment. Highly acclaimed with awards such as "Echo Rising Stars" 2019, the Borletti-Buitoni Trust, and "New Generations Artists" 2018, the Aris Quartet juxtaposes Beethoven's "Russian" Quartet Op. 59, No. 1, with Gerald Resch's String Quartet No. 3. Gerald Resch's intention was to build a kind of "adjacent property" to Beethoven. The Aris Quartet vividly brings out both the connections and differences with its nuanced playing.
The Aris Quartet is nominated as Ensemble of the Year and Chamber Music Recording of the Year for Opus Klassik 2022
The Strad
"The pure intonation and direct appeal of their approach to Beethoven`s mesto mood in the Adagio anticipate the great outpourings of solitude in Bellini and Berlioz. answered and not resolved by the surging euphoria of the finale." Review by Peter Quantrill from July 2021
