Cuarteto Casals

Description:

The Casals String Quartet, the pride of Spain, is a string quartet that often visits Japan. They often visit Japan and have won a wide fan base with their natural and beautiful sound. Their new release this time is Bach’s Fugue Technique. From the very first note of the disc, you will be amazed at the extraordinary beauty of the music. They chose Cardona Castle Abbey, where Savard also recorded. The sound is very luxurious, with beautiful and natural reverberation. The four lines, played in a tone that celebrates beauty, paint a very natural and unruffled picture from the simple fugue at the beginning, through the more elaborate variations and canons, and culminating in the incomplete final fugue. The disc closes with an attempt to end the “Kontrapunctus 14” (unfinished triple fugue) on a D major chord, followed by the chorale “I now go forth before Thy throne,” BWV 668, which is included in
