With its astonishingly fresh, sometimes surprising performances, the Cuarteto Casals has quickly established itself as one of the worlds most compelling younger chamber ensembles " and one of the most respected. Blending passionate expressiveness with elegant sophistication, the Barcelona-based players bring immaculate technique to their searching, searing insights.
They have focused strongly on the exhilarating quartets of Beethoven throughout their career and they close their wide-ranging International Festival recital with the grand dramas and hearty good humour of his final Razumovsky quartet.
They open with the magical radiance and avian inspirations of Haydns witty Bird Quartet. In between, the intense emotions of Bartks brief but punchy Third Quartet.
