Formed in 2008 and based in Zurich, the ensemble, whose members come from four different countries, has maintained a high reputation in the classical and modern repertoires and won particular praise for its CD of the Schoenberg quartets, in which the composer’s ‘sometimes taxing language seem so utterly natural,’ as one critic noted.
