The quartet has been recording for the Mirare label since 2008 and has released 8 CDs, all awarded prizes and receiving international critical acclaim. The next release will be Carnet de voyages. The Modigliani Quartet has built true artistic friendships and are regularly play with other musicians such as Nicholas Angelich, Daniel Muller-Schott, Yefim Bronfman, Sabine Meyer, Beatrice Rana and Renaud Capucon.
