The acclaimed London-based Barbican Quartet, First Prize Winner of 2022 ARD Music Competition, releases Lux Intus. The album contains works of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Rebecca Clarke, and Edward Elgar, culminating in the world premiere recording of a newly commissioned quartet by Sophia Jani.

“The Barbican Quartet love to take risks in their playing and are not afraid to push boundaries… the quartet has a distinctive style: with their very own sound, their emotional interpretations, but also in their programming.” – Marcus Stäbler, NDR Kulture, Album of the Week (writing about Manifesto on Love)
