Brilliant Corners: Christian Marien Quartet.

about

The Christian Marien Quartet presents the music from their new album ‘Beyond the Fingertips’. It is a direct-to-disc production, without editing or post-production, carved into the lacquer in a single, unrepeatable take. Completely in the here and now. The quartet’s concerts are the same. Full of risk-taking and playful wit, the musicians open up a space where everything is part of the magic – including mistakes and imperfections. They move in a field of tension between structure and freedom, abstraction and swing, chaos and calm. Christian Marien has assembled a three of the most sought-after musicians in Europe musicians in his quartet; Antonio Borghini, Jasper Stadhouders, and Tobias Delius.

The result is music that cannot be held on to – it is in the moment, extraordinary, and beyond the fingertips.

“This is a quartet that doesn’t just play together; they breathe together.” – The Art Music Lounge
