The Zaïde String Quartet won first prize at the Vienna Joseph Haydn International Competition in 2012 and first prize at the Beijing International Music Competition in 2011.
Haydn's Quartet Op. 50 n° 5 is called "The Dream" due to the delicate lyricism of its second movement. Mozart's quartet, the second of the "Milanese Quartets" is, according to Philippe Andriot, the most Italian of all. The thirteenth Quartet, finally, is one of Beethoven's most accomplished quartets.
