The Carducci String Quartet consist of Matthew Denton (Violin), Michelle Fleming (Violin), Eoin Schmidt-Martin, (Viola), and Emma Denton (Cello).[1]
The ensemble first played in 1997, and have won international competitions including Concert Artists Guild International Competition USA 2007 [2] and First Prize at Finland's Kuhmo International Chamber Music Competition 2004.[3]
Their work covers a broad range, new works, music with folk origins, classic quartets such as Haydn and they have built a reputation for complete Shostakovich cycles, .[4]
In 2016, they won the Royal Philharmonic Society Award for their Shostakovich Quartets.[5]
They are published on Carducci Classics,[6] and on Naxos.[7]
They have received positive reviews, their performance of Philip Glass's Third String Quartet in March 2021 was described by The Times: The Carduccis pulled off the trick here, with immaculate tuning, unshakeable tempos and sensitive dynamics. Even if they didn’t convince me that it was a masterpiece, I was left feeling that there’s no string quartet I’d rather hear play Glass.[8]
In August 2015, the 40th anniversary of the composer, Shostakovich's death they performed a whole day cycle of his string quartets at the Globe in London. The Guardian's Erica Jeal, wrote: The Carduccis maintained astonishing intensity, right through to the focused stillness of No 15. This was, as advertised, perhaps a once-in-a-lifetime event, and next to it everyone else’s Shostakovich anniversary programming seems merely dutiful. [9]
