The Parisii Quartet was created in 1981 by four students from the Conservatoire de Paris, all first prize in instrument and chamber music.
In 1986, the quartet won the Grand Prix Radio Canada in the Banff International Quartet Competition, a competition reserved for the top ten string quartets in the world, previously selected. Then in 1987, the formation won the Evian and Munich competitions.
Among their recordings are the quintets with oboe by Boccherini, or the world premiere recording of the Quartet Book by Boulez (complete Boulez box set at Deutsche Grammophon). Their discography also includes many complete quartets such as those of Beethoven, Brahms, Webern and Milhaud.
Their recordings of the quartets of Debussy and Ravel have been ranked ffff by Télérama and Choc by Le Monde de la musique, also distinguished by the prize for the new academy of music for the Franck and Webern CD. More recently, their recording of the string quartets and piano quintet of Reynaldo Hahn has been unanimously hailed by critics.[3]
