 haracterized by a maximum\, extremely delicate penetration of the score an
 d a multi-layered sound that always has something fluorescent\, glassy.”
 \n\nAlexander Dick\, Badische Zeitung\, September 2022\n\nSince winning Fi
 rst Prizes at the London and Brahms-Hamburg competitions\, Cuarteto Casals
 \,\nwhich was founded in 1997 at the Escuela Reina Sofía in Madrid\, has 
 been a continual guest at\nthe world’s most prestigious concert halls\, 
 including Carnegie Hall\, Philharmonie Berlin\, Cité de\nla Musique Paris
 \, Philharmonie Paris\, Konzerthaus and Musikverein in Vienna\, Concertgeb
 ouw\nAmsterdam\, and Suntory Hall\, among many others.\n\nTo celebrate its
  twenty-fifth anniversary\, the quartet released a recording of the comple
 te Art of Fugue by J.S. Bach to much critical acclaim and is currently und
 ertaking a recording of all fifteen quartets by Dmitri Shostakovich\, one 
 of the great cycles of the twentieth century\, which will be released in t
 he fall of 2024.\n\nWith more than twenty-seven years of experience togeth
 er\, Cuarteto Casals has compiled a substantial discography with the Harmo
 nia Mundi label featuring repertoire ranging from lesser known Spanish com
 posers Arriaga and Toldrá to Viennese classics Mozart\, Haydn\, Beethoven
 \,\nSchubert\, and Brahms\, through twentieth-century greats Debussy\, Rav
 el\, Zemlinsky\, Bartók\, Ligeti\, and Kurtág\, as well as a live Blu-ra
 y recording of the complete Schubert quartets for Neu Records.\n\nA prize 
 from the prestigious Burletti-Buitoni Trust in London enabled the quartet 
 to begin a\ncollection of matching Baroque and Classical period bows which
  it uses for works from Purcell\nthrough Schubert\, refining its ability t
 o distinguish between diverse musical styles. In addition\,\nthe quartet h
 as been profoundly influenced by its work with living composers\, especial
 ly György\nKurtág\, and has given the world premiere of quartets written
  by leading Spanish composers\,\nincluding a concerto for string quartet a
 nd orchestra by Francisco Coll\, premiered with the\nOrquesta Nacional de 
 España\, and commissions by Mauricio Sotelo\, Benet Casablancas\,\nDahoud
  Salim\, Lucio Amanti\, Aureliano Cattaneo and Matan Porat. Additionally\,
  the quartet has\nperformed John Adams’s Absolute Jest with many orchest
 ras and will perform the world\npremiere of Elisenda Fabregas’s Fiery Ea
 rth in the Palau de la Música Catalana in 2025.\n\nIn recognition of its 
 unique contributions to the cultural life within Catalunya and throughout 
 Spain\, Cuarteto Casals has been acknowledged as cultural ambassadors by t
 he Generalitat of Catalunya and the Institut Ramon Llull. Past awards incl
 ude the Premio Nacional de Música\, the Premi Nacional de Cultura de Cata
 lunya and the Premi Ciutat Barcelona\; additionally the quartet has had th
 e privilege to perform repeatedly on the extraordinary collection of decor
 ated Stradivarius instruments at the Royal Palace in Madrid. To honor Cuar
 teto Casals’s decades on the concert stage\, the quartet has received th
 e prestigious Medal of Honor from Reina Sofía of Spain.\n\nIn addition to
  giving much sought-after masterclasses\, Cuarteto Casals is quartet-in re
 sidence-at the Scuola di Musica di Fiesole \, the Koninklijk Conservatoriu
 m Den Haag\, and at the Escola Superior de Musica de Catalunya in Barcelon
