Immerse yourself in the timeless elegance of Tomás Bretón's string quartets with the release of "Aeternae. Obras De Tomás Bretón" by the Cuarteto Bretón. This album, set to release on October 24, 2025, under Cezanne Producciones, marks the culmination of a monumental project: the first-ever complete recording of all the string quartets by the Spanish composer.
The album features two essential works: the Quartet in G Major (1866) and the dramatic Quartet No. 2 in C Minor (1907), also known as the "Dramático." Each piece is a masterclass in composition, showcasing Bretón's unique blend of tradition and innovation. The Quartet in G Major is a journey through classical forms, with its lively Allegro, serene Adagio, and graceful Minuet. In contrast, the Quartet No. 2 is a powerful exploration of darker themes, with its intense Grave – Allegro, tender Romanza, and driving Allegro deciso.
The Cuarteto Bretón, a renowned ensemble committed to the diffusion of classical music, brings these works to life with their impeccable musicianship and deep understanding of Bretón's style. The album, produced by Javier Monteverde, is a testament to the ensemble's dedication and the enduring appeal of Bretón's music.
With a total duration of 57 minutes, "Aeternae. Obras De Tomás Bretón" is a must-listen for fans of classical music and a perfect introduction for those new to the genre. It's a chance to discover the rich musical heritage of Spain and the timeless genius of Tomás Bretón.
