Scènes de quatuor ( Bruno Monsaingeon, 2001) VOSI

The Artemis Quartet is one of the most promising young string quartets being heard today. I had already had occasion to work with them in 1996 during the making of the film Death and the Maiden along with the Alban Berg Quartet. The Artemis were there as guinea pigs to receive the sage advice of their famous elders on interpreting the Schubert piece. During the sessions on the shoot, they turned out to be an extraordinarily precious ingredient of the film s success in all respects. Their youth, their competence, their communicative ardour, the expressiveness of their faces all these things that contribute so powerfully to the image and sound of a film made a very strong impression on me.
