Biography

Le Quatuor Makrokosmos is a swiss quartet based in Geneva, Switzerland. The group takes its name from the eponymous music of George Crumb, itself conjuring up the magical possibilities of such an instrumental line-up.  Alongside the great classic masterworks of the genre - the Sonata for 2 pianos and percussion by Béla Bartók; Le Sacre du Printemps by Igor Stravinsky and Music for a Summer Evening - Makrokosmos III by George Crumb, the Quatuor Makrokosmos continues to forge its own new identity working hand-in-hand with composers in exploring the instrumental format of 2 pianos + 2 percussions to create a new voice and a new music for the 21st century.

On voit rarement autant de naturel et de sincerité chez des spécialistes de ce domaine, compositeurs et interprètes parlent d'une seule voix
[We rarely see so much naturalness and sincerity among specialists in this field;  composers and performers speak with one voice.]

a rigorous execution is mandatory and Makrokosmos comes through on that score, keeping things ultra-crisp
