^{For gourmands}

From their very first performances the ensemble was extremely successful in its native city of Yekaterinburg, Russia. The group’s international reputation was established in 1995 when it was awarded the First Prize at the International Music Competition in Klingenthal, Germany. The “Ural” Quartette performed in the category of contemporary and classical chamber music and the jury commended the ensemble’s high artistic quality, excellent musical taste, their purity of sound and the originality of arrangements.

Today this ensemble offers a wonderful unity of splendid performance, artistic brilliance and irreproachable taste, based on high professional standards and an “obsession” with good music. The most characteristic features of the group are their outstanding quality as instrumentalists and technical innovations that always go hand in hand with elegant and highly artistic virtuoso performances.
