Shanghai Quartet

Hailed by The Strad as "a foursome of uncommon refinement and musical distinction", the Shanghai Quartet has earned a reputation as one of the world's most outstanding string quartets. Originally formed in Shanghai, this versatile ensemble is known for passionate musicality, astounding technique and multicultural innovations.

"[Their style] departs from the hard bitten attack currently in favor and instead recalls the aristocratic style of prewar European quartets".
