	Hazard Chase - Brodsky Quartet (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The Brodsky Quartet are at the forefront of the international chamber-music scene.
		Their love and mastery of the traditional string quartet repertoire is evident from their highly acclaimed performances of composers ranging from Haydn, Beethoven, Schubert and Tchaikovsky to Shostakovich, Bartok, Britten and Respighi, as well as from their extensive, award-winning discography.
		The Brodsky Quartet is named after the Russian violinist Adolf Brodsky, who played an important role in musical life in Manchester and at the Royal Northern College where the quartet studied.

	Brodsky Quartet @ Wigmore Hall, London : concert review
		Nevertheless, it was refreshing to witness the Brodsky Quartet place the illustrious Leipzig composer's music side by side with that of the two "birthday-boys", particularly in a genre at which the former is purportedly less distinguished.
		The Brodsky Quartet captured each and every one of these sentiments in a performance of the composer's String Quartet No. 3 in F major Op.
		Much of the success in the quartet as a whole stemmed from the brilliant, sparkling accompaniments of Ian Belton and Paul Cassidy (second violin and viola respectively), which were often equally as riveting as the melody.

	Elgar - His Music : String Quartet in E minor
		The String Quartet was the first of three chamber works that he tackled in 1918 in the peaceful surroundings of Brinkwells, the country cottage that Lady Elgar had found for them in the depth of the Sussex countryside.
		Fortunately, he resumed work on the quartet in October 1918, taking it forward to completion by the end of the year.
		This should not be read to imply a deeper programme for the work, simply that Elgar had captured the atmosphere and spirit of the woodlands around Brinkwells that were his inspiration for the work.

		The Brodsky Quartet is so well adapt at performing such a work that they even made it seem at times easy.
		It was his third quartet in a month and was written to commemorate the death and life of his dear friend violinist Ferdinand Laub.
		The whole quartet were indeed sublime and although it may seem that I am blowing a trumpet too far, for me they understood exactly where the composer was coming from.

		The Brodsky Quartet are less known for their chamber music exploits than for their one collaboration with Elvis Costello, The Juliet Letters.
		Few string quartets inspire the invocation of such words as "groove" and "swing," but such language is natural and unavoidable when trying to describe the natural pulse and flow of the Brodsky sound.
		Where other quartets may make a more dashing impression of romantic passion, the Brodsky Quartet is far and away the best kisser.

	Musical Evening - Brodsky Quartet
		The Quartet's love and mastery of the traditional string quartet repertoire is evident from its highly acclaimed performances of composers ranging from Haydn, Beethoven, Schubert and Tchaikovsky to Shostakovich, Bartok, Britten and Respighi, as well as from its extensive, award-winning discography.
		Recognised for its mastery of the traditional string quartet repertoire, the Quartet's many collaborations with distinguished composers, including John Tavener, Lutoslawski, Peter Sculthorpe, Django Bates, Sally Beamish, Dave Brubeck and Julian Nott, have given it an unrivalled opportunity to influence and inspire some of the newest work for string quartet.
		The Quartet is also known for its pioneering work with a diverse range of performing artists, from singers Elvis Costello, Anne Sofie von Otter and Björk, to Complicite Theatre Company and Icelandic poet Sjon.

	Brodsky Quartet, St George's, Bristol \| \| Guardian Unlimited Arts
		The Brodsky's Shostakovich anniversary cycle for St George's culminated in this challenging evening of quartet-playing, where the sense of a composer addressing the fundamentals of life and death were never more profoundly invoked.
		But the Brodsky programmed them first, knowing full well that there could be no following the soul-searching farewell that is Shostakovich's last essay in the medium, the Quartet No 15 in E flat minor.
		The Brodskys' achingly beautiful performance reached deep into the heart of the man, and the long silence that preceded the tumultuous applause acknowledged as much.

		The Brodsky Quartet is known for noteworthy collaborations as well as efforts to link the art form to the diverse reach of contemporary music.
		Thus "Moonswings," released last month on the quartet's own label but distributed by Koch in the U.S. On it, the quartet couples the elegance and finesse of its musicianship with eminent singer/songwriters such as Elvis Costello, Sting and Bjork.

		The Brodsky Quartet (named after Russian violinist Adolf Brodsky, who taught at Manchester where they studied) has been around for quite a few years and are no novices by any means.
		The concert, one of a series of lunchtime Beethoven String quartet concerts was recorded by Radio 3 to be transmitted on 3rd December 2003 at 1pm.
		The Janacek String Quartet #1 composed in 1923 is a complicated yet enthralling work and is based on Tolstoy’s 1889 novella ‘The Kreutzer Sonata (herewith lies the link between the two composers in today’s concert).

		The players’ obvious love and mastery of the traditional string quartet repertoire, is evident from their recordings of Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven through to their acclaimed recording of all the Shostakovich string quartets and the chamber music of Ottorino Respighi and Peter Sculthorpe.
		It is this fiery passion for exploration and eagerness to embrace “all good music,”; that has been the driving force behind their success and which has kept their approach fresh and their enthusiasm high for thirty years.

	DSCH 17 Shostakovich CD Reviews - Amir & Brodsky Quartet
		No premieres lurk among the remaining works on the Brodskys' all-Shostakovich programme, but we are treated to a very fine performance indeed of the youthful Two Pieces for String Octet.
		Still, no modern version is nearly as transfixing as the composer's own 1955 recording with the Beethoven Quartet, a reading of striking immediacy, pregnant with momentum in the Prelude, keenly grief-stricken in the Fugue, irresistibly vigorous in the Scherzo, insupportably despondent in the Intermezzo, extroverted in the Finale (Vanguard Classics OVC 8077).
		The final work from the Brodskys is Two Pieces for String Quartet, a project that occupied Shostakovich only over Halloween night of 1931.

		The centre piece of this programme is Paul Barker’s intensely moving work In Memoriam: For Those Who Fall In Times Of War commissioned in 2004 by the Brodsky Quartet, the Spanish clarinettist Joan Enric Lluna and Arts Council England.
		Scored for quartet and clarinet, the work was inspired by the demise one by one of three members of the Sarajevo String Quartet during the war in Bosnia.
		It is brought to life here in a variety of settings, with specially designed screens placed either side of the stage which the musicians move around whilst performing from memory.

	Brodsky Quartet - First night reviews - Times Online (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The Brodsky Quartet’s festival concert on Wednesday brilliantly demonstrated another way to do this.
		What looked on paper like a daunting programme — three modern works sandwiched between ferocious Bartók (the Fifth Quartet) and Beethoven (Op 18 No 3) — was received with concentration and then rapt approval, thanks largely to the leader Andrew Haveron’s witty, unpretentious spoken links.
		Karen Tanaka’s At the Grave of Beethoven, a response to the very quartet that the Brodskys had played, offered first an anguished minimalist fantasia on Beethoven’s material, then a movement in which his andante theme was mulled over, in key after key, like an enraptured child turning a kaleidoscope round and round.

	Ives Quartet - Performance Review
		In August, Ashkenazy and the Brodsky Quartet gave the piece its world premiere at Switzerland's Lucerne Festival.
		It also was fascinating, and deeply moving, to hear the Ives Quartet perform Beethoven's String Quartet in F Major, Opus 135, and Mendelssohn's String Quartet No. 2 in A Minor, Opus 13.
		One of the Bay Area's outstanding string quartets, the Ives Quartet should be heard by more famous ensembles who might learn a trick or two about playing music with precision, soul, and a sense of newness.

		Please bear with me, as I would pretty much reach for anything but string quartet music, so am not well versed in what this stuff is supposed to sound like.
		What I have always enjoyed about the Brodsky Quartet has been the complexity of their playing.

		One of the strangest yet at the same time most amazing albums I have ever stumbled across ever is the partnership between Elvis Costello and the Brodsky Quartet known as The Juliet Letters.
		This isn't a cross-over of classical meets rock; rather it is a collaboration of musicians whose backgrounds happen to be different.
		Costello's voice mocks the listener with this song, and the Quartet's strings tease, and harmonize with his voice.

		These folks obviously understood that they were going to have to throw preconceived ideas about playing with a "rocker," just as Elvis was trying to (as he put it) avoid the dreaded "crossover" sound.
		Costello and the Brodsky Quartet were brought together by mutual appreciation (Costello went to Brodsky Quartet concerts while the Brodsky Quartet attended Costello concerts).
		Accompanying yourself with just a string quartet (no snarling guitars or euphonious keyboard filigrees,) is the surest way to test your mettle as a vocalist.
