专辑简介
With this recording of Carlos Chávez’s chamber music for strings, Urtext Digital Classics has taken a major step toward the awareness and recognition of a significant body of the composer’s music covering an extensive period from 1921 to 1965. Recent publication of the four string quartets, made possible through the efforts of the composer’s daughter Ana Chávez, now allows them to find their place in the modern repertoire. The string trio Invention II is the only composition in this group that was published during the composer’s lifetime, shortly after its completion in 1965. Cuarteto Latinoamericano, nominated for two Grammys, is an authoritative voice in Latin American classical music. The three Bitran brothers, together with violist Javier Montiel, have become international ambassadors of their repertoire, touring extensively in Europe, New Zealand, Israel, and North, Central and South America. Cuarteto Latinoamericano performs the classical and contemporary repertoire, specializing in performing the works of composers from the Americas, and have received three CMA/ASCAP Awards for Adventurous Programming. Now celebrating their twenty-third season, this award-winning string quartet from Mexico has been in residence at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh since 1987. To celebrate the twentieth season, the Instituto Nacional de Bellas Artes of Mexico commissioned four new works to be created for the Cuarteto. Over their twenty seasons, more than fifty works have been written for them, and they have given over one hundred world premieres. Cuarteto Latinoamericano is credited in Mexico with the emergence of a new generation of string players.
