BBT20 Sunday 11 June 2023 - Quatuor Ébène plays its signature work Ravel's String Quartet in F

Bringing BBT's 20th anniversary weekend at Wigmore Hall in June 2023 to a triumphant close, Quatuor Ébène returned to the stage to play its signature work, Ravel's String Quartet in F, which was included on the quartet's first BBT-supported CD release (originally on Virgin Classics, now Erato), way back in 2008. Second violinist Gabriel Le Magadure wrote about the quartet's inclusion in the BBT20 weekend: "What a time we had all together for BBT's anniversary !! It has been a memorable day/evening that we will all remember !! Thank you again so much for your trust and fidelity to us."

The slow movement was perfectly ethereal, what Ravel called for with the mutes on strings.
