Over the past 25 years, Cuarteto Casals has built a formidable reputation for refined, expressive interpretations of the classical repertoire. The tonal beauty, perfect balance and intuitive musicality of this top-tier quartet, which has a warm spot for Spanish composers, are praised worldwide.
For their 25th anniversary the quartet invited composer Raquel García-Tomás to write a new string quartet for them.
Like Cuarteto Casals she comes from Barcelona. The music she writes has a strikingly rich and varied sound that is a perfect fit for Cuarteto Casals. Her style is contemporary yet, much like that of many of her contemporaries, interwoven with recognizable elements of the classical-romantic tradition. A tradition that traces its roots back to Joseph Haydn, the father of the string quartet genre.
