SAINT-SAENS: Piano Quartets [CD de audio] Quartetto Avos and Saint-Saens

Camille Saint-Saëns was a prolific and very eclectic composer, two adjectives that at first glance could have a negative connotation, but in this case they acquire a very positive meaning, since the great French master knew how to absorb all the musical currents of his time. and from the previous periods and synthesize them in a brilliant way in a very original, extremely refined, ingenious, fascinating, brilliant style and with a very pleasant melody. This new album presents the three quartets for strings and piano, works with very virtuoso tones, which deserve a place of greater consideration in the concert hall repertoire. These works are presented to us in the brilliant interpretation of the Quartetto Avos, a very good Italian group whose style of execution was defined by the critic of Archi magazine as "perfectly cohesive and amalgamated with a rare spontaneity." The booklet contains extensive cover notes on the works performed and biographies of the artists. Mirei Yamada, violin; Diana Bonatesta, viola; Luca Magariello, cello; Mario Montore, piano.
