The Madrid Conservatory String Quartets

About

Featuring string quartets by Julián Bautista, Salvador Bacarisse, Fernando Remacha, María de Pablos and their contemporaries, The Madrid Conservatory String Quartets explores a remarkable and largely forgotten chapter of Spanish chamber music from the first half of the twentieth century.

Performed by the Cuarteto Seikilos, this recording is the result of an extensive process of research, critical editing and stylistic exploration. It stands as a significant contribution to the recovery of Spain’s chamber music heritage, offering fresh insight into a repertoire of exceptional artistic value that deserves a renewed place on today’s concert stages.
