"A quartet for the new millennium if I ever heard one”

Wrote Strad magazine upon hearing Cuarteto Casals for the first time, shortly after its inception in 1997 at the Escuela Reina Sofía in Madrid.Since winning First Prizes at the London and Brahms-Hamburg competitions, Cuarteto Casals has been a repeated guest at the world's most prestigious concert halls including Wigmore Hall, Carnegie Hall, Musikverein Vienna, Philharmonie Cologne, Cité de la Musique Paris, Schubertiade in Schwarzenberg, Concertgebouw Amsterdam and the Philharmonie in Berlin, among many others throughout Europe, North America and Japan.Celebrating its 15th anniversary in the 2012-13 season, Cuarteto Casals will perform the rarely heard cycle of 15 quartets of Franz Schubert in cities including Madrid, Florence, London, Lisbon, and Schwarzenberg. In tandem, Harmonia Mundi has released a new recording including the great G major quartet, Schubert's last contribution to the genre.The quartet has compiled a substantial discography with the Harmonia Mundi label, including to date 9 CD's, with repertoire ranging from lesser known Spanish composers Arriaga and Toldrá to Viennese classics Mozart, Haydn and Brahms, through 20th Century greats Bartok, Kurtag and Ligeti."A sonic signature entirely its own," raved the New York Times, describing Cuarteto Casals' distinctive range of expression. A prize from the prestigious Burletti-Buitoni Trust in London enabled the quartet to purchase a matching set of Classical period bows which it uses for works from Purcell through Schubert, refining its ability to distinguish between diverse musical styles. In addition, the quartet has been profoundly influenced by its work with living composers, especially György Kurtag, and has given the world premiere of quartets written by leading Spanish composers.

Claudio Constantini, Bandoneón/ Tangowww.claudioconstantini.com

Claudio Constantini is emerging as one of the finest young bandoneonists in Europe, hailed by musicians and public for his sensitive interpretative qualities and technical command of the instrument. Constantini performs a wide variety of repertoire written or adapted for the bandoneon, from classical masterpieces of Bach to contemporary music. Argentinean tango plays an important role in his career as bandoneonist, particularly works of contemporary tango composers, including himself.A prize winner at several international bandoneon and tango competitions (Astor Piazzolla international competition-Italy, Klingenthal international competition-Germany, Doble Ocho competition-Netherlands, Cafe tango competition-Germany), Constantini has been invited to perform at concert halls across four continents. Highlights of the season 2010-2011 included the world premiere of Daniel Schvetz’s “Concerto for bandoneon and symphony orchestra”, together with the Metropolitan orchestra of Lisbon and Jesús Medina (conductor), a concert with the Kristoforo Kamerinis orchestra in Lithuania which was broadcast on National Lithuanian television, and invitations to festivals such as the Helsinki festival (Finland),het Grachtenfestival (Amsterdam-The Netherlands), and Piano.lt festival (Lithuania).Born in Lima, Perú into a family of professional musicians. Already one year later he won his first award, the 3 rd prize in the National Bela Bartok piano competition, starting a career as a classical concert pianist, which at present remains parallel to his bandoneonistic activities. In Constantini’s view, both sides of his artistic personality compensate each other, providing the means to explore a much wider perspective of music. This was complimented further with composing, a natural choice for Constantini which allowed him to participate in the creative process of music as well as in the interpretative side.Constantini began his bandoneon studies autodidactially in his early twenties. What initially began as a side-instrument quickly became a professional ambition. He performed as soloist and founded ensembles such as the Milonga del norte quintet which won the 1st prize at the International Astor Piazzolla competition in 2005. Later he enrolled in the Rotterdam conservatorium (The Netherlands) to perfect his bandoneon studies with master bandoneonist Víctor Villena.Constantini has collaborated with many great artists of the tango such as Víctor Villena, Gustavo Beytelmann, Gotan project, and Julián Peralta. He is founder, composer and artistic leader of the Septetoscopio ensemble, and the Constantini-Villena-Myohanen trio.As a composer and arranger, Claudio Constantini has worked for such organizations as theParis Conservatoire (France), Juvenalia chamber orchestra (Finland), Canadian Academy (Japan), Orquesta Típica Tangarte (Sweden),Music Theater department of Lahti University (Finland), Primavera ensemble (Russia), Villena tango club (France), among others.
