Kuss Quartet

"Each sound, each phrase, each newly conceived repeat seemed to have been cleared of dust, re-examined and lovingly repolished," extoled the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung after a 2005 concert by the Berlin-based Kuss Quartet. The ensemble's readiness to experiment is manifest not only in its engagement with early and new music, but also in its interpretations of the standard quartet repertoire, informed by an awareness that - in their time - many of these works were ground- breaking in their impact.
