Since their debut in 1996, these Israeli musicians continue as acclaimed performers at major venues throughout the world. Their wide repertoire and stunning depth of expression is grounded in a warm, full sound balancing high and low voices that refine the quartet's interpretations of the classical repertoire, as well as works of our time. Their recordings of Haydn’s string quartets have won BBC Music Magazine and Diapson d’Or Arte awards, while their release of Schubert’s “Death and the Maiden” received an ECHO Klassik Award. In 2003, the quartet was recipient of the first Borletti-Buitoni Trust Award and was named as a BBC New Generation Artist.
