DOVER BIO:
“…the Dover Quartet players have it in them to become the next Guarneri String Quartet - they’re that good.” - The Chicago Tribune
Hailed as “the next Guarneri Quartet” (Chicago Tribune) and “the young American string quartet of the moment,” (New Yorker), the Dover Quartet catapulted to international stardom in 2013, following a stunning sweep of all prizes at the Banff Competition and has since become one of the most in-demand ensembles in the world. In addition to its faculty role as the inaugural Penelope P. Watkins Ensemble in Residence at the Curtis Institute of Music, the Dover Quartet holds residencies with the Kennedy Center, Bienen School of Music at Northwestern University, Artosphere, and the Amelia Island Chamber Music Festival. Among the group’s honors are the Avery Fisher Career Grant, Chamber Music America’s Cleveland Quartet Award, and Lincoln Center’s Hunt Family Award. The Dover Quartet has won grand and first prizes at the Fischoff Chamber Music Competition and fourth prize at the Wigmore Hall International String Quartet Competition.
In the 2020-21 season, the Dover Quartet debuts with Berkeley’s Cal Performances and embarks on its first-ever tour of Latin America, both of which will be conducted using virtual technology. Tour performances include collaborations with the Escher Quartet and harpist Bridget Kibbey. The quartet’s first volume of the complete Beethoven string quartet cycle, which focuses on the composer’s Op. 18 quartets, was released by Cedille Records in September 2020.
Among its many notable performances in 2019-20, the Dover Quartet made its Zankel Hall debut in collaboration with Emanuel Ax and returned to London’s Wigmore Hall. Other recent collaborators include Inon Barnaton, Ray Chen, Edgar Meyer, Anthony McGill, the late Peter Serkin, and Roomful of Teeth. Equally comfortable with repertoire from a range of eras, the quartet has worked with some of the world’s foremost living composers, including Caroline Shaw and Mason Bates.
Cedille Records released the Dover Quartet’s Voices of Defiance: 1943, 1944, 1945 in October 2017; and an all-Mozart debut recording in the 2016-17 season, featuring the late Michael Tree, violist of the Guarneri Quartet. Voices of Defiance, which explores works written during World War II by Viktor Ullman, Dmitri Shostakovich, and Simon Laks, was lauded upon its release as “undoubtedly one of the most compelling discs released this year” (Wall Street Journal).
The Dover Quartet draws from the lineage of the distinguished Guarneri, Cleveland, and Vermeer quartets. Its members studied at the Curtis Institute of Music and Rice University’s Shepherd School of Music, where they were mentored extensively by Shmuel Ashkenasi, James Dunham, Norman Fischer, Kenneth Goldsmith, Joseph Silverstein, Arnold Steinhardt, Michael Tree, and Peter Wiley. It was at Curtis that the Dover Quartet formed, and its name pays tribute to Dover Beach by fellow Curtis alumnus Samuel Barber.
The Dover Quartet is the Penelope P. Watkins Ensemble in Residence at Curtis. Their faculty residency integrates teaching and mentorship, a robust international performance career, and a cutting-edge digital presence. With this innovative residency, Curtis reinvigorates its tradition of maintaining a top professional string quartet on its faculty, while providing resources for the ensemble to experiment with new technologies and engage audiences through digital means. Working closely with students in the Nina von Maltzahn String Quartet Program, the resident ensemble will recruit the most promising young string quartets and foster their development in order to nurture a new generation of leading professional chamber ensembles.

i never heard this song before. thanks for posting. LOVE IT!!!! Ravel was a genius and this interpretation is a classic that deserves more views.

[@bootman26]

Kick ass!!!!! Ravel threw the viola player a bone in the B theme, beautiful melody. The preformance of the melody was gorgeous, sounded more like a violin than a viola, but had the depth of the larger instrument.

[@origamibulldoser1618]

Holy crap everything about this is immedately and completely appealing

[@JamesCSLiu]

Magnificent sound! Now, Dover Quartet, please record the rest of the Ravel Quartet!

[@Potato-su8us]

my a string broke hearing this xd. love this performance

[@shackamaxon512]

I love pizzicato! It evokes intrigue. This is enchanting. I cant figure out where I've heard it before. A marvelous performance

[@nidhishshivashankar4885]

It was used in a commercial within the last 10-15 years or so I believe for 23&me or something

[@milocallist.o]

i wish that i could listen exclusively to the pizzicato parts for the rest of this year

[@StephenHarris-w6e]

For the person who was wondering, FYI it was used in the TV serialisation of The Chamomile Lawn some years ago. Quite wonderful!

[@sma1968]

Fantastic! For me, it's a tough choice between Debussy and Ravel -- with this edging out as potentially the greatest quartet written. Also really great to have a wonderful camera operator that knows the piece! Bravo across the board.

[@davidroyer5049]

Wonderful performance. Just last night I attended a recital in a church where this quartet was played. . . Ravel was thirty years ahead of his time

[@richardwalker9826]

Magical sound from a majestic romantic composer- Ravel These guys and gal are a well oiled tantalizing sound phenomenon! They give me the illusion that i am listening to a whole symphony orchestra. And the video makes it sound even better.

[@alex9920ro]

Ravel was modernist/Impressionist, not Romantic

Fantastic! Please please release this on CD.

Great job! I feel like logging in as someone else to give it another thumbs up! Just subscribed. I don't want to be that guy that tries to prove how smart he is by describing what you just played, but I really feel like you made it live, and I can't think of a better complement for musicians. Really well done.

[@dlb1911967]

Everything you touch turns to gold! Superb! EDIT: Just purchased "Encores". I'm addicted to this track! ANOTHER EDIT 😊: It looks like Joel has placed his mute between the A and E strings rather than between D and A? Is this a thing? Am I right? Does it really matter? 😁

[@milenapajaro-vandestadt8780]

It does make a difference! He may have done so to avoid certain wolf tones in that particular piece, or because of the way the mute fits with his string spacing. I’ll try to remember to ask him and get back to you :)

[@jasonball3496]

Reminds me of one of the Marvel movies' music. I think it's like a recurring motif in Spider-Man Homecoming?

[@elioravelo5542]

Yeah, I also recognize it from homecoming. In fact, if you search up homecoming theme, it sounds almost as if the score was just copy pasted, I think it’s even in the same key.

[@fantasticfungi]

Definitely in the same key, and also with plucked strings and same rhythm. Contours of the melody theme starts the same and diverges a little. Ravel: A-E-C-D-E-A-G vs. Spiderman/Giacchinno: A-E-D-E-F-C-A
