Bach: The Art of Fugue" and "Mozart: String Quartets dedicated to Joseph Haydn." Their Beethoven series, including the albums "Beethoven: The Complete String Quartets, Vol. III 'Apotheosis'" and the "Revelations" trilogy, highlights their commitment to exploring and shedding new light on the works of the great composer. The ensemble’s ability to blend technical precision with emotional depth is acclaimed, marking their recordings and performances as both intellectually and emotionally compelling. Cuarteto Casals continues to redefine the boundaries of string quartet performance, committing themselves not only to the core classical repertoire but also to championing new works and bringing fresh insights into the canon.
