Quatuor Diotima ~ Chamber Music Marin

Quatuor Diotima, one of the most sought after string quartets of today, was formed under the impulse of four graduates from the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Paris in 1996. Its name bears a double reference: Diotima as the allegory of German Romanticism – Friedrich Hölderlin’s Hyperion thus baptizes his muse and lifelong love – and as firebrand of the music of today, with Luigi Nono’s Fragmente-Stille, an Diotima.
