The calm before the storm? the rehearsals in the dome and the tuning of the piano are moments suspended in this magnificent setting.
“The first autumn weekend of the “Coups de cœur de Chantilly” program is about to conclude with one delight after another. From Mozart’s First Piano Quartet (again in G minor), the Festival’s Artistic Director and his partners in the Modigliani Quartet offer a more detailed, denser vision than those usually heard on record, and we’re grateful for it. “(Bachtrack)

“The warmth, ardor and unctuousness of the Modigliani’s sound place us from the very first notes at the heart of one of Mozart’s absolute masterpieces, of uncommon amplitude (over 35 minutes)” (Bachtrack)

Quatuor Modigliani, Iddo Bar-Shaï, Matthias Goerne, Laurène Durantel
“Matthias Goerne’s happiness is contagious, as is that of his partners. The baritone projects, as if from the depths of an organ, his recognizable bronze timbre, creating emotion on the very surface of the text. The Modigliani’s setting is miraculous in its tender poetry. (Bachtrack)
