New Releases
On the occasion of its twentieth anniversary, Cuarteto Quiroga presents a personal homage to the genre, featuring perhaps the triumvirate Haydn Beethoven and Bartók, as well as Kurtág and a pinch of Webern. Secreta by Kurtág was recorded for the first time. The Cuarteto Quiroga can be heard here as one of the most dynamic of its generation. Distinctive in their approach of presenting the works fluidly according to the music and yet also with formative intervention, they lay out a personal approach to the string quartet repertoire.
