Profoundly moving Shostakovich cycle marks the Brodsky's 50th

Nick Boston, 29th October

The Brodsky Quartet deliver deeply moving performances of all 15 Shostakovich string quartets, with added value and insight from writers Elizabeth Wilson and Marina Frolova-Walker.

Manchester Camerata and Jess Gillam on superb form in Buxton

Peter Connors, 19th July

Two fascinating and hugely entertaining recent pieces started a superb concert by the strings of the Manchester Camerata, joined by Jess Gillam in Glazunov's Saxophone Concerto and the Brodsky Quartet in Elgar's Introduction and Allegro. Tchaikovsky crowned the concert.

Phil Parker, 27th June

The accumulated experience of over 160 years of quartet playing is revealed in an intensity of passion undimmed by the passage of time in this exhilarating concert by the Brodskys.

Simon Holden, 13th May

This was a true tour de force and a fitting climax to a rather miraculous examination of counterpoint through musical history.

Nahoko Gotoh, 23rd September

Schubert’s String Quintet was certainly a crowd-puller at this concert, as Kings Place's Cello Unwrapped series continues.
