After a succesful year of a fruitful cooperation with Tomasz Daroch, a new chapter in the history of Meccore String Quartet opens with the cellist Marcin Mączyński joining the group. Stay tuned for the first concerts coming up soon!
“The exquisite and harmonious “Meccores” and their soon-to-be-released complete recording of Tchaikovsky’s quartets, should be considered a whole new reference point. At least, the D major op. 11 of the Russian master, notoriously underrated in chamber music, can hardly ever be heard in such a beautiful interpretation […]. Above all, the heart-melting Andante and the irresistibly brilliant and unleashed final movement were especially impressive. Tchaikovsky can and must sound so classy, kitsch-free and unsentimental as in Meccore String Quartet’s performance.”
Meccore String Quartet was honoured to feature in concerts celebrating the 100th anniversary of Poland regaining its independence, which took place in Bozar Brussels and Elbphilharmonie Hamburg as a result of collaboration with Polish Institute Brussels and RADIO NDR Kultur.
“The excellent Warsaw-based Meccore String Quartet”
