My favourite composers for the string quartet setting are Haydn, Beethoven, Bartok and Shostakovich (I apologize for not mentioning dozens of others, but it’s those I know best). Personally, I must add Villa-Lobos to this illustrious foursome to make it a full hand….and although the Brazilian’s quartets may not be rated as high as Bartok’s – well, whose would - they’re definitely to be considered an enrichment of the quartet repertoire.
Six discs here, seventeen quartets, a variety of sounds; another proof of Heitor’s versatility. What setting or instrument did the man NOT compose for – perhaps only people like Haydn and Mozart had a wider orientation.
