What a rare treat to hear a quartet whose cross-instrument timing is so artfully integrated, that "balance" virtually takes care of itself! Early Beethoven never sounded better -- like a gushing mountain stream.

I saw this quartet last night, 4.4.23, at Merkin Hall in NYC and they were excellent!

[@balourdetquartet]

Thanks so much for joining us at Merkin! What a fun concert that was 😂

[@terrellholmes2726]

@@balourdetquartet You're very welcome! I'm looking forward to more of your concerts!

Excellent! Very impressive. Dynamics are so well worked out and all four players seem both deeply concentrated and thoroughly enjoying it at the same time. I was enthralled for the duration.
