Background: Bartók's string quartets are a true cornerstone of quartet repertoire. They communicate on various levels and are supremely effective on all of them. Whether viewed as a cycle or as six individual works, they remain masterpieces of formal design, every bar plainly part of a rounded grand plan, a plan securely placed within a wider framework.

They can be mysterious, intimate, innovative, outspoken or earthy, while the infinite subtlety of their workings warrants a lifetime’s study, and praise.

The Belcea's interpretation of these quartets really captures the listeners' attention, the quartet commented: 'The more we immersed ourselves in these works, the more beauty and richness we discovered in them and we very much hope that this appeal will even still increase in future because we definitely consider these quartets to be the greatest masterpieces of the last century in our repertoire.'
