Juilliard String Quartet

Japanese: ジュリアード弦楽四重奏団 - じゅりあーどげんがくしじゅうそうだん(英語表記)Juilliard String Quartet
Juilliard String Quartet

An American chamber orchestra. It was founded in 1946 by professors from the Juilliard School of Music at the suggestion of William Schuman, the school's president. It gave its first concert in New York the following year, 1947. Initially, it attracted attention for its vivid interpretations of 20th century works by Schoenberg, Webern, and others, but gradually expanded its repertoire to include classical pieces. Since its founding, the members have changed little by little, and so have the performance style and repertoire. In particular, its Beethoven performances from the late 1960s to the early 1970s are considered to be a milestone in Beethoven string quartet performances after World War II, an achievement on a par with the Budapest String Quartet.

Japanese:

アメリカの室内楽団。1946年、ジュリアード音楽学校校長のウィリアム・シューマンの提唱により、同音楽学校教授たちによって結成された。翌47年ニューヨークで最初の演奏会を行った。当初シェーンベルク、ウェーベルンら20世紀の作品の鮮烈な解釈により注目されたが、しだいに古典までレパートリーを拡大した。結成以来メンバーは少しずつ変化し、それとともに演奏スタイル、曲目とも変わった。とりわけ1960年代後半から70年代初めにかけてのベートーベン演奏は、第二次世界大戦後のベートーベン弦楽四重奏曲演奏の金字塔として、ブダペスト弦楽四重奏団に並ぶ成果とされている。
