Cvartetul român “Arcadia Quartet” castiga premiul international Wigmore Hall

Saptamana trecuta, situl revistei Gramophone anunta premierea ansamblului român de coarde “Arcadia Quartet” din Cluj-Napoca la concursul international de la Wigmore Hall, Londra. Nu am auzit niciodata de ei, dar felicitari, un moment de a se simti din nou mandru de muzicienii nostri români:

[Gramophone] “The Arcadia Quartet, four string players from Romania who studied in Vienna, have been given the top prize in the Wigmore Hall International String Quartet Competition. They take the £10,000 first prize which was awarded to them by an expert panel of judges chaired by the Wigmore Hall’s director John Gilhooley. It was secured by a performance of Mendelssohn’s A minor String Quartet (they also receive a Wigmore recital and a UK tour). The Arcadia Quartet also took the Beethoven Prize for their performance in the all-Beethoven semi-final.”
