Cuarteto Casals
The Barcelona-based Cuarteto Casals perform three highly contrasting quartets by Haydn, Bartok and Beethoven's final and dramatic 'Rasumovsky' quartet, live from the Queen's Hall.
The Barcelona-based Cuarteto Casals perform three highly contrasting quartets; 'The Bird' from Haydn's set of six quartets from Opus 33 which was considered to be ground-breaking and crucial to the development of the string quartet form, written 'in a new and special way' according to the composer. Bartok's intense third quartet which makes use of extended technique to dramatic effect and end with Beethoven's expansive quartet from his 'Razumovsky' set commissioned by the Russian ambassador in Vienna at the time and performed live from the Queen's Hall.
