New York Piano Quartet
Comprised of Metropolitan Opera musicians (violinist Elmira Darvarova, violist Ronald Carbone, cellist Samuel Magill and pianist Linda Hall), The NEW YORK PIANO QUARTET is the core ensemble of the New York Chamber Music Festival, appearing at prestigious venues, including Carnegie Hall. Their performances have been called “revelatory” and “stunning” by Fanfare Magazine, while their recordings were praised as “ultra-impassioned, vividly detailed” by Gramophone Magazine. Their recording of Alfred Schnittke's "Piano Quartet after Mahler" was hailed as the definitive version, and they have championed works by Gustav Mahler, Erich Korngold, Joseph Marx, Charles-Marie Widor, Amanda Maier, David Amram, Gernot Wolfgang, Wang Jie and José Serebrier (among many others), presenting a multitude of world premieres, American premieres and New York premieres. A CD album with world-premiere recordings of chamber works by René de Castéra (released by the French label Azur Classical), on which three of the New York Piano Quartet members appear, was selected by Music-Web International as Recording of the Month, and among the Records of the Year. The string players of the group - Elmira Darvarova, Ronald Carbone and Samuel Magill - participated in an album of José Serebrier's chamber music for which they recorded a number of never-before released works, and they also registered, for a different album, the world-premiere recordings of Eugene Ysaÿe's String Trios Op. 33 and 34, in their recently-discovered finalized versions.
