À propos du Quatuor Debussy
The Debussy String Quartet has built a reputation graced with international acclaim through their many recordings and live performances. Since its creation in 1990, they have enlivened the chamber music world with their stylish and stimulating performances. Based in Lyon and honored as Winners of the Evian International String Quartet Competition, the quartet performs about 120 concerts a year all around the world (Europe, Asia, Australia, North America…).
The quartet’s recording schedule has included the release of more than 30 CDs in 30 years with works ranging from French Music (recently, around Debussy and Caplet which enriches its collection composed of Bonnal, Ravel, Fauré, Witkowski or Lekeu) to Weber or Shostakovich with the complete string quartets recorded by Arion. It includes the acclaimed Decca label release of the landmark Mozart Requiem recording, in the 1802 transcription by Peter Lichtenthal (about which a documentary film has also been made). The quartet’s mixed chamber music repertoire includes its highly regarded CD of the Brahms and Webern clarinet quintets with clarinetist Jean Francois Verdier and a highly acclaimed collaboration with François Chaplin in several Mozart piano concertos.
Its members are the founders of “Les Cordes en Ballade” a chamber music festival and an academy of chamber music in the South of France, where they perform and teach each summer.
En trente ans d’activités, le Quatuor Debussy a été applaudi aux quatre coins du monde, partageant toujours avec la même passion ses interprétations musicales sur les scènes les plus prestigieuses : Japon, Chine, États-Unis, Canada, Australie, Russie, Europe… Ses tournées régulières lui ont permis de se faire un nom sur tous les continents. Trente années d’évolution qui en font aujourd’hui l’une des figures incontournable de la scène musicale internationale : Premier Grand Prix du concours international de quatuor à cordes d’Évian 1993, Victoire de la musique 1996 ("meilleure formation de musique de chambre"), plus de trente disques à son actif (intégrale de Chostakovitch, musique française, américaine, jazz, musique actuelle, comptines…) le Quatuor Debussy jouit à ce jour d’une reconnaissance professionnelle incontestable.
Porté par des valeurs de partage et de renouvellement des formes, il a toujours eu le souhait de surprendre et d’attiser la curiosité. En créant des passerelles avec différents domaines artistiques comme la danse (Maguy Marin, Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker, Wayne Mac Gregor, Mourad Merzouki…), le théâtre (Philippe Delaigue, Richard Brunel, Jean Lacornerie…) ou encore les musiques actuelles (Yael Naim, Gabriel Kahane, Cocoon, Franck Tortiller, Keren Ann…), le cirque (Cie Circa), le slam (Mehdi Krüger) et les arts numériques (David Gauchard), le Quatuor Debussy défend plus que tout l’exigeante vision d’une musique "classique" ouverte, vivante et créative.
