description
This double album brings together two recordings of 2004 and 2006 in which the Cuarteto Casals opportunely demonstrated the links between figures as different as Turina, Ravel, Debussy, and Zemlinsky. The resulting cultural exchanges in this music from the turn of the twentieth century bring out quotations, distant echoes, resemblances, and perhaps even conscious hommages circulating between Vienna, Paris and Madrid.
Works:
• Debussy: String Quartet in G minor, Op. 10 • Ravel: String Quartet in F major • Toldrà: Vistas al mar • Turina: La Oración del torero, Op. 34 • Zemlinsky: String Quartet No. 2, Op. 15
