Schumann - Berg - Kurtag
These four Catalan musicians exiled in Berlin already have considerable experience behind them: seven years of shared concerts and discoveries that have seen them win major international prizes. The quartet’s first disc at once says it all: an overarching perspective on the repertory, a taste for challenges, and uncompromisingly rigorous standards. All the qualities required to reach the highest peaks.

The harmonia#nova series is conceived to offer young artists singled out for their exceptional talents a technical, editorial and promotional showcase that lives up to the high standards of harmonia mundi’s classical productions. While those standards remain identical across a very wide range of repertories, the recording philosophy governing this series is rather different, since it is produced above all by the musicians themselves. Welcome!
