Bret\u00f3n String Quartet<\/span><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Breton String Quartet was formed in 2003 when four musicians with extensive experience in various chamber music ensembles and sharing a passion for string quartets and Spanish composers, decided to go beyond the repertoire that is most routinely programmed, to delve into this Spanish repertoire from the past to present day.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since then, the Breton String Quartet has been invited to the principal halls, Festivals and chamber music series in Spain. They have put a strong emphasis on composers such as Ernesto and Rodolfo Halffter, Jes\u00fas Guridi, Juli\u00e1n Bautista, Jes\u00fas Garc\u00eda Le\u00f3z, Tom\u00e1s Bret\u00f3n, Juli\u00e1n Orb\u00f3n, Joaqu\u00edn Turina or Julio G\u00f3mez, as well as on modern composers such as Agust\u00edn Charles, Alfredo Aracil, Tom\u00e1s Marco, Jos\u00e9 Luis Greco, Mario Carro or Cristobal Halffter, and, of course, are as well dedicated to the standard repertoire, from Mozart and Haydn, to Debussy, Shostakovich or Szymanowsky, including Beethoven, Schubert, Mendelssohn, Schumann, Brahms, Borodin, Lalo, etc. The composers Mario Carro, Juanjo Colomer, Alfredo Aracil, Jos\u00e9 Luis Greco, V\u00edctor Padilla and Gabriel Loidi have dedicated works to the BSQ.<\/span><\/p>\n

Recent highlights have been the absolute premiere of Juanjo Colomer\u2019s two String Quartets in Bremen (Germany),\u00a0the absolute premiere of Conrado del Campo\u2019s 8th<\/sup> String Quartet in the new critical edition by the Breton String Quartet itself, as well as concerts in the most important Festivals and Halls in Spain: Festival de Granada, Quincena Musical Donostiarra, Semana de M\u00fasica Religiosa de Cuenca, Ciclo de M\u00fasica Contempor\u00e1nea de C\u00f3rdoba, Fundaci\u00f3n Juan March, Auditorio Nacional de Madrid, Sala 400 (Reina Sofia Mueum), etc.<\/span><\/p>\n

The BSQ have recorded Rodolfo Halffter\u2019s Complete String Quartets (NAXOS, Vol. III of Rodolfo Halffter\u2019s Complete Chamber Music) and Alfredo Aracil\u2019s Complete String Quartets (VERSO). During 2013, there will be many new releases such as the double CD of Father Antonio Soler\u2019s Complete Piano String Quintets, with pianist Rosa Torres Pardo (COLUMNA), Jes\u00fas Guridi\u2019s Complete String Quartets (NAXOS), followed by a double CD of Tom\u00e1s Bret\u00f3n\u2019s Complete String Quartets (NAXOS). As part of the BSQ\u2019s ambitious project of the recuperation of Spanish repertoire, they are currently working on the critical edition and recording of the Complete String Quartets (14) of Conrado del Campo: the most important collection of string quartets in the History of Spanish music.<\/span><\/p>\n
