Founded in 1997 at the Escuela Reina Sofia in Madrid, Cuarteto Casals is quartet in residence at the Koninklijk Conservatorium Den Haag and at the Escola Superior de Musica de Catalunya in Barcelona, where all four members reside. Since winning First Prizes at the London and Brahms-Hamburg competitions, the quartet has been a repeated guest at the world’s most prestigious concert halls. Of the quartet’s second volume of Beethoven recordings for harmonia mundi, Gramophone Magazine wrote “These interpretations don’t just strip off the varnish; they tear off the gilded frame, x-ray the canvas, and light it in neon.” Program: Haydn "Quartet No. 25 in C Major, Op. 20, No. 2, Hob. III:32"; Shostakovich "Quartet No. 2 in A Major, Op. 68"; Beethoven "Quartet No. 15 in A minor, Op. 132". Purchase tickets at the above link.
