August 31, 2023

The Bartók Quartet is a Hungarian string quartet ensemble, founded in 1963 in Budapest as the successor ensemble of the Komlós Quartet (1957–63).

Their repertoire includes especially works of the Viennese Classicism and Béla Bartók as well as contemporary Hungarian composers.

History Edit

The Bartók Quartet is the successor ensemble of the Komlós Quartet which was founded in 1957 by students of the Franz Liszt Academy of Music.[1]

In 1963, the ensemble was renamed the Bartók Quartet and had its first great success when it won 1st prize at the 1964 International String Quartet Competition in Liège.[2]

The Bartók Quartet has participated in international music festivals, as well as outstanding ceremonies such as the opening of the world-famous Sydney Opera House and Human Rights Day in New York City at the UN.

The Quartet was awarded the Liszt Prize in 1965, the Kossuth Prize in 1970 and 1997; in 1981 they received the UNESCO Prize and the title, Outstanding Artists.[3] In 1986, the ensemble received the Béla Bartók-Ditta Pásztory Prize.[2][3]

The recording of the six Bartók String Quartets[4] (Erato Records/EMI) was awarded the "Grand Prix" by European critics. Further recordings followed, including the complete string quartets of Beethoven and Brahms.
