第一小提琴：盖布里尔•理查德 

萨克斯：姜汉超 

古希腊哲学中关于θυμός(Thymos)这个词有一种表达，即当灵魂嵌入进呼吸的时候，身心获得合一，以它之名而诞生的一支弦乐四重奏组合，来自享誉盛名的巴黎管弦乐团。四位乐手均毕业于巴黎、里昂国立高等音乐学院，他们分别是荣获巴黎管弦乐团终生职位的第一小提琴盖布里尔•理查德(Gabriel Richard)、而第二小提琴安娜索菲•勒罗（Anne-Sophie Le Rol）被誉为天才小提琴家，年仅21岁便进入巴黎管弦乐团、中提琴由乐团声部首席及独奏家尼古拉•卡尔勒(Nicolas Carles)担任、以及同样荣获巴黎管弦乐团终生职位的大提琴家佛罗莱恩▪米勒（Florian Miller）。在他们成立的15年以来，他们受邀参演了诸如法国Luberon国际弦乐四重奏音乐节、波尔多大剧院国际比赛嘉宾、法国蔚蓝海岸传奇小提琴音乐节等，并与当今在全球享誉盛名的指挥家亦是蒂莫斯四重奏和室内乐团的主席——克里斯多夫•艾申巴赫(Christoph Eschenbach)的关系始终紧密相连，首先是他们早在2005年的Ravinia音乐节上的第一次合作，也由此开始了艾申巴赫成为蒂莫斯重奏组合中钢琴家角色的演出之旅。他们的合作受邀于芝加哥肯尼迪艺术中心和巴黎Fougères音乐节，以舒伯特和法国作曲家Olivier Dejours的作品，并与女中音歌唱家Elisabeth Kulman，低音提琴Yann Dubost在Salle Gaveau一同演出。

这样一支由艾申巴赫领衔的活跃于当今室内乐舞台的顶尖弦乐四重奏，除了穿梭于乐团巡演和重奏组的演出以外，也丝毫没有停下灌录唱片的脚步。他们将舒伯特、贝尔格、德沃夏克等作品，与合作演出的艺术家们完整灌录于发行于2009和2011年的唱片中。华盛顿邮报曾盛赞这支重奏组，“他们是极具想象力和精湛技艺的组合”；对于艾申巴赫在舒伯特作品中的表现，纽约时报也大加赞赏，称其为“犹如水晶般的音色”，“被不断前进的韵律而迷幻”。这些年来，蒂莫斯四重奏的足迹不仅踏遍世界各地，包括音乐节、博物馆、音乐厅与艺术中心，更重要的是他们的艺术探索也在不断延伸，除了诠释横跨巴洛克至新古典主义时期的大量曲目外，也乐于大胆尝试新艺术，典型的案例是2011至2012年他们随极简主义代表作曲家Steve Reich与Karine Saporta当代舞蹈团在巴黎音乐城的演出，获得了极大的成功。

According to the philosophers of the Ancient Greece, « thymos » means the breathing of the soul, the alliance between body and mind. Inspired by the spirit of this concept, the musicians of the Thymos Quartet created this ensemble in 2001 to share intense moments of music with wide audiences. The Thymos Quartet stems from the meeting of four musicians who won Distinction Prizes at both the Paris and Lyon music conservatories. From the very beginning, the Quartet aspired to have a large repertoire spanning from baroque to contemporary. The Quartet has been invited to perform in renowned festivals, such as Amboise, Prades, Montpellier and at varied concert halls among which the auditoriums of the Orsay Museum and of the Sorbonne, The Mogador Theater, Favart and Pleyel, as well as in the French oversea departments and in several European cities.

For the 2014-15 seasons, the Thymos Quartet performed in Chateau de Maisons-Laffitte, in the Festival of Fougères, at the Philharmonie in Paris, among others. They record a cd about a Schubert program in February 2015 with pianist Christoph Eschenbach and bassist Yann Dubost. In 2016, the Quartet Thymos will tour Brazil (Rio, Vitoria, Sao Paulo ...) and the United States (Washington, DukeUniversity ...). The year 2017 will see a proposed tour of Asia (Japan, Korea, China).Thymos Quartet is supported by the French Institute and Spedidam.
