About

This double album brings together two recordings from 2004 and 2006 in which the Cuarteto Casals opportunely demonstrated its virtuosity and the links between figures as different as Turina, Ravel, Debussy and Zemlinsky.

the players’ sensitivity to [Debussy’s] shimmering colours and temporal inflections is utterly captivating...I doubt whether this work [Zemlinsky] has ever been so stunningly well played at all levels, and the velvety, in-depth recording is of demonstration quality.” - Julian Haylock, The Strad, April 2005

a sparkling account of the Ravel Quartet” - Edward Greenfield, Gramophone, June 2007

The Casals Quartet continues to amaze. Its trump card is Vera Martinez. When she is leading, you get interpretations lit with inner vision, such as the best Zemlinsky Quartet No.2 I have heard, a majestic Brahms Clarinet Quintet or a magical reading of La oración del torero by Turina.” - Tully Potter, The Strad, August 2005
