Meccore String Quartet
Claude Debussy, Karol Szymanowski

Young and talented, showered with international awards, they live their lives guided by a simple rule – the key is harmony and happiness. And passion that became a lifestyle for them. The daring Meccore String Quartet – one of the hottest Polish ensembles of this kind – dynamically stepped onto the international concert scene, and is now trying to prove that sophisticated music can totally preoccupy us. They are just bursting with energy!
Exuberant and very emotional interpretations have become Meccore’s trademark. Youthful expression combined with outstanding skills and true virtuosity delights audiences in many countries of the world. The group consists of four young artists (Wojciech Koprowski, Jarosław Nadrzycki, Michał Bryła and Karol Marianowski), whose personalities meet head-on in music, creating a consistent, yet vibrating with emotions, explosive mixture. Known as “bad boys” of the Polish quartet, they prove that music and real talent know no bounds. Asked about what they would never give up in art, they simply reply – their own personalities! And they add: “With every note we struggle to break the stereotyped image of a quartet that an average listener associates with a wedding or a museum.” And though Meccore is, above all, an ultra-professional “philharmonic” ensemble, the artists like to surprise us with something completely new.
Their latest record presents works of two composers – Karol Szymanowski and Claude Debussy, who also did not fit into standard framework, and whose course of life and (not only artistic) choices raise many controversies until this very day. Their music is pervaded right through with intensive shades of sensuality. Quartets are sometimes mysterious and impulsive, spasmodic and soothing, leaving numerous possible interpretations to the listener. One thing is for sure though – they are full of sparkle that makes them beloved by the wide audience.
