Brodsky Quartet: Daniel Rowland appointed
TobiasOne of the reasons why the Brodsky Quartet and Daniel Rowland may have found common ground so quickly may well have been their mutual love for the Classical core repertoire as well as for contemporary composition. The Brodsky Quartet, of course, has a couple of joint ventures with some of the leading Pop and Rock artists (such as Elvis Costello and Björk) to their name, while Daniel Rowland has led the 20th and 21st century-focussed Ensemble Contrechamps and the Quatour Contrechamps. His personal conviction that Classical music still has a lot of perspectives among the young has even resulted in his own festival, Stift, which will be celebrating its third anniversary this year in the Netherlands.
Next to the upcoming live gigs, we can expect new CD releases from the Brodsky Quartet in its new lineup soon. After all, the group has its record label, Brodsky records, and has always championed the studio as a valuable addition to their concert experience.
