Belinfante Quartet
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 22 ก.ย. 2016
The Belinfante Quartet is one of Holland's most adventurous string quartets, known for their genuine performances of pieces by lesser known masters, as well as achieving excellence in the core string quartet repertoire. Violinists Olivia Scheepers, Fiona Robertson, violist Henrietta Hill and cellist Pau Marquès i Oleo formed the quartet in 2016. Since then, the quartet has performed extensively in Europe.
Recently they recorded their second CD 'Parallel 40' with a program that takes inspiration from traditional music and composers from Spain, Italy, Greece, Uzbekistan, China and USA among others. Recorded in 2023 by 7 Mountain Records.
In 2022 they recorded 'Ellipse' with music by Benjamin Britten, Caroline Shaw and John Playford.
In 2021, they recorded quartets by Joseph Boulogne Chevalier de Saint-Georges and Henriëtte Bosmans.
With their name, the quartet would like to honour Frieda Belinfante, the first professional female conductor in Europe and a truly inspiring person.

Nikos Skalkottas - Five Greek Dances for Strings - v. Kleftikos
Nikos Skalkottas (1904 - 1949) - Five Greek Dances for Strings - v. Kleftikos
Performed live by the Belinfante Quartet at Studio150 Bethlehemkerk, Amsterdam - October 2024
Nikos Skalkottas was one of the leading Greek composers of the 20th century. He studied with Arnold Schoenberg between 1927 - 1931 and began using the 12-tone method in his compositions but later reverted to traditional forms, successfully combining classical music with Greek folk music. Sadly, not much of his music was performed during his lifetime and virtually none of it was published. Latterly, Skalkottas led a difficult life hindered by debt and health complications and he deeply resented the struggle of getting his music performed and published. His major works include symphonic suites, three piano concerti, four string quartets, and the overture The Return of Ulysses.

This is a blast. Im climbing Jacob s ladder while listening ❤ The clap sound is the making of the sound,, its the back of a voilin..

Bologne is now very much part of my listening. He is truly a master composer. But then this not a necessary prerequiste. I enjoy his music just as I enjoy Beethoven.
I don't like Beethoven and I know he's a billion times more dynamic than Bologne.
A Billion
Beautiful
Que nivel tan impresionante! Gran obra y orquesta excelente.
Heartwarming - beautifully played ❤
Jammer dat het niet een echte 'making of' is, dat had ik wel willen zien. Of was dat eigenlijk niet de bedoeling van deze video?
<3
Just heard his violin concerto on Sirius today. This is equally delightful!
This lot have really solid basic technique skills. The playing is lovely and shows Chevalier's music off well. I can see why to SOME extent people might be put off these chamber pieces, as they are v tricky indeed to play. I loved this. ❤️🎶👍
If you'd pardon my modern slang, this composition is straight fire.
big facts brother
Mucic of the Classical era was international,...all of Europe and even to some degree in the Americas. Bologne is finally getting the attention he deserves. And, besides C P E Bach, Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven and some Schubert, there are others waiting to be discovered or else discovered but still rarely heard. This is an excellent beginning.
But CPE, Mozart and Haydn are so clearly greater composers than Bologne.
Clearly!
muchas gracias. Me suscribí a tu canal
Beautiful from the first note to the last - what a treat. I've bought the tracks. Please please record more of his music!! I'm a huge fan of Bologne but his music is so hard to come by.
Amazing! Thank you for recording that:)
I very much liked all the tunes! Could one give the titles of the rest please?
Bologne😍😍
Sounds so modern, Id imagine people would guess this was haydn or mozart.
Wonderful!
Bravo! Perfect. Lovely and fun to listen to. Thank you for sharing Bologne's music.
Thank you for listening!
Lovely medley. Dark Island officially only really dates to c 1958! Written by Iain Maclachlan as Dr. Mackay's Farewell to Creagorry, retitled for a 1962 TV series. It really isn't ancient.. I am just a few years younger!
