NEW CD RELEASE HAYDN SEVEN LAST WORDS OF CHRIST ON THE CROSS

15.03.14

Cuarteto Casals' newest CD is now available for purchase worldwide. Recorded at the Teldex Studio in Berlin for the Harmonia Mundi label, Cuarteto Casals has taken on one of the great masterpieces of the quartet literature: Haydn's monumental Seven Last Words of Christ on the Cross. Commissioned for a chapel in Cadiz in the south of Spain, where the quartet has performed the work on various occasions, it consist of an introduction followed by seven slow movements, each illuminating one of Christ's final statements on the cross, and finishes with an earthquake 'con tutta forza.'
