Despite its Dutch-sounding name, the quartet founded by Nicolas Van Kuijk in 2012 is French. But its short career is already international. The Quatuor Van Kuijk won First Prize in the 2015 Wigmore Hall Competition and First Prize and Audience Award at the Trondheim International Chamber Competition, and its members have been named BBC New Generation Artists until 2017. It has also been distinguished by the Academy of the Festival dAix-en-Provence, and it is in the framework of the latters partnership with Alpha Classics that it has recorded this programme. Mozart is obviously the ideal composer to forge a link between chamber music and opera, the raison dêtre of the Aix Festival. This programme combines an impish divertimento by the youthful Mozart of 1772 with two mature quartets composed around 1782, including the famous Dissonance Quartet with its eminently dramatic opening. Nowhere else in Mozarts quartets do theatre and counterpoint form such a happy pairing. Praised by The Guardian for its style, energy, and a sense of risk, the QVK is one of the most promising chamber groups of the new generation.
